Yea, they offer this as a free service to you and you want to flame them? That's totally uncalled for.

It has happened once before and I think I'm going to implement a zero-tolerance policy. As the providers, we don't have to put up with it!

I most definitely would do that. Aslo, I plan on using this topic for your help as soon as I have a job. Already got a case in mind.

Get this mobo + CPU combo: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Two kits of this RAM and read the entry in the topic for it: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Ditch the mouse for the Logitech G400: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This keyboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This hard drive: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

This case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I'd keep the 6970. It'll still perform very well and overclocking makes it even better. I'd also include a Samsung 830 SSD!

Let me begin by saying you could do a lot better for $900.

The RAM heatsinks are too tall and will cause problems with any decent cooling options.

You're spending quite a bit of money on the HDD right off the bat when that can easily be upgraded later on and you can focus more on performance now.

Low end board with zero features. You'd EASILY be able to re configure it with a MSI Z77 G43 at the very least.

EDIT: the case, it's the worst thing CM has ever produced. The main problem I have with this case ( did a build for a friend in it ) is the cheap build quality and sub par cable management routing options. A better case is the HAF 912 / Antec One which are in the same price range but are far more superior.

It's OK and we recommend it pretty often, but this one's better: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Usually we recommend it someone really wants LEDs and/or a window, but the One is infinitely more classy and has nice features for newer builders. And vets, too, those bumped-out side panels are a godsend.
