they have better cases then raven, I would advise you against it, go with corsair or haf, you will have better temps with haf.

you gonna want a better psu, double check to see if the d14 fits that mobo.

what are you gonna be doing with this pc? gaming? what is the ticket number for that cconfig? if you are gaming then what res are you gonna be gaming at?

so your monitor's native res is 1900 x 1200? what is the ticket for your config?

is that system giving your the power you need or what is it you want to mainly gain in the new pc? I mean these are gonna be a shock to you either way.

if you don't have the ticket number for the first config you made, can you at least tell me the price?

$8 more, more ram, better oc, 8 threads, much more powerful gpu, basically beast:

Here you go Ticket# 388601 --- Price: $2011 (To see this build click here) Price after current promotion $2011

this pc is way more powerful then the amd config in games and a bit better performance in other apps.

scout is not that great, sniper, haf 922/932 are good ones for airflow IMO.
