What components do you have besides the case, what components do you need, any gaming, and what's the budget?

My last I had hassles with cpu , mobo recognizing 12G mem , Im asking first ....... as for the case I just feel like it . I have no budget I can do as I like .
TIA Tool .

What do you mean by general use graphics? Are you going to be doing any gaming? You shouldn't have any problems with recognizing 12gb of ram on the new build, but you may not even need that much depending on what your doing.

No budget?

Velociraptors are a waste of money - go with SSD and WD Blacks.

If you want, you can use a 64gb or smaller SSD in caching mode with a standard hard drive on the Z68 chipset. It's called Intel Smart Response Technology. Otherwise, you can use a larger SSD as your boot and applications drive.
