I've finally saved enough money for a computer from Digital Storm!! Ouch
My resolution is 1920x1200 and this is only for Starcraft 2.
And now i have a few questions if you don't mind.
1. Is it worth getting the EVGA LE board if i'm not planning to do SLI?
2. On the haf 932 case is DS able to change the front fan with a blue one?
3. Do i need a sound card if I'm going to be using a headset to talk to my friends?
4. I might upgrade to a ssd later on, does anyone have suggestions?

I hope this is enough information for you DST4ME :D

1. LE actually is not meant for sli but you can do sli on it, if you don't need pci lanes for sound card, wireless, or any other kind of card the the evga micro will do for you, but LE is great also and provides lots of pci lanes.

2. CM makes a blue 230mm fan, so you can change the side/top/front with that if you like, all 3 are the same size, and you can get that fan in blue or red, just make sure you specifically ask DS for the oem 230mm blue led fan, otherwise you will end-up with smaller/louder blue led fans.

3. not sure about this one, I don't believe so.

4. all ssds are not the same, stick with intel/ocz (vertex)/corsair.

My pleasure

I would specifically ask for them just to be sure, I don't work for DS, but I guess the bottom of the page is ok too, personally I like to make sure these kind of details are confirmed.

Sorry, but one more question. Would it be worth shaving 70 dollars for a gtx 470? I've read with just a little oc it can be as good as a 5870
