1377647 2014-06-21 20:50:00 I can knock $100 off if I swap to Corsair CMZ8GX3m21866C9 Vengeance 8Gb (2x4Gb)

I'll go with the noctua nh-u9b se2 Heat sink then

I have to pick a DVD drive, there isn't a none option

1377648 2014-06-21 22:24:00 If you wanted USB ports etc on the front, and there's a few 5 . 25 bays on the case, you could get something like this ( . ebay . com . au/itm/5-25-Multifunction-2-USB-3-0-Ports-All-In-One-Card-Reader-Esata-HD-Audio-/351097864495?pt=AU_Components&hash=item51bf10412f" target="_blank">www . ebay . com . au)

There are others that have USB 2 and 3, and e-sata and a card reader . I was going to get one for the pc I'm building at the mo, but the case has only got 1 5 . 25 bay . So it's either a DVD (which I dont really need) or one of these .

I can use a flash drive to install windows, and it'll be wireless once I get the rest of the parts (the PSU, ram and some ssd's) .

Altho, I would have to remove the door on this case, if I wanted to install one of these multifunction things . Otherwise it may not fit . And if the mobo didnt have the connection, I would get extension cables, so I can plug them into the back (If it's USB 2 or 3) .

1377649 2014-06-22 07:24:00 Any ideas on a Monitor?
I don't think I need ultra great response times as I play Strategy, 4X & some RPGs, I do occasionally play Farcry etc

I thought about ASUS VS239H-J 23" 5MS LED IPS MONITOR $264

1377650 2014-06-23 11:02:00 Thanks for all the advice, It's made made me a bit more comfortable that I'm getting a computer that not only will do what I want but will actually work
In the end my computer is costing $2622 . 80

Heres a link to the final choices (Image to large to post)
Although the Hard drive is being upped to a 3TB & the Ram is being changed to Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1866 CL9 (+$10 I assume it must be slightly better)
