my rig- 449252
well thats it. it will be used for about this. -70% gaming 20% internet/web and 10% homework/word/power-point.....(ok lets be honest it will be more like 3% xD).
but yeah tell me what you think! FYI my only game as of now is WoW. might get crysis 2 along the way but i put it together for use of WoW not Crysis2 because i hear that can need some more power but i can live with it.
 any suggestions/idea's let me know
also i kind of would enjoy internal lighting and would know if anyone has comments on which colors look well and which do not.

Thanks!

For a gaming rig another option to consider is dropping the CPU down to a 760 (you only lose hyper-threading), and bump up the video card to a 470.

Pretty good config either way.

Looks good to me, that's the route I would take with a budget gaming machine. The extra GPU power will mean a lot more than the hyper-threading.

yep thats a good idea because all hyper threading does is make high performance programs like adobe cs5 faster and since you don't use these programs you will be fine with upgrading the gpu and downgrading the cpu.

Ditto. Better video = better gaming!
 
Check out the pictures of this HAF 932 here:
 
The HAF 932 comes standard with a red LED fan in the front. This build shows what you get when you pair that with blue cathode lighting, and I think it looks unique and striking. Whaddya think?  Cool
