I am willing to go to 700 to make changes maybe swap something for better performance, what do you guys think of this? Also would it be cheaper to order from NCIX.ca or no? I havent taken a look at the site yet at their prices Last edited by nem8685; 12-15-2011 at 12:09 AM. |

Replace the Asrock board with an Asus and the G.skill ram with Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, or A-Data.
Get whatever hard drive you can find that's on sale, prices are extremely high right now. NCIX price matches. |

Not sure if you are set on that case, but I bought this case about six months ago. I love it, it looks great with the light off, and the fans have individual speed switches. I think its worth the extra, and a better brand in my opinion then Rosewill
