Mod Edit - Changed colors otherwise it gets a bit too much for others to read.

Would you use this as your case?

I saw that case on Reddit; bloody awesome! I'm over building tricked out systems though, too much effort

Oh hell ya, that case is sick!! So much more sexy than the one i got for the system i built for Diablo 3, literally i built a decent PC JUST for Diablo 3, it may not be the best but for under $300 you can't go wrong.

System Specs:
Mobo: ASRock M3A770DE AMD770+SB710 Chipsets
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 Black Edition 3.2GHz 8MB Cache
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Graphics: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD6570 1GB DDR3 PCI-E
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

My box actually lights up all red when ON

What's the heatsink you have on your CPU A4omanolov?

I use to love fitting out my builds with neons and other lights but it starts to get annoying when you sleep (I leave my PC on 24/7). I ditched all that stuff when I built a new PC mid last year. Still, they look cool

Jon,
it's Asetek 550LC Liquid CPU Cooling System Standard 120mm Fan. And yeah i hate neons for the same reason they are annoying but my PC case came with the red lights build in so they are kind of soft dim red lights it's kind of cool actually

Same here Jon, I used to have 2 neon fans in my other computer and my case had a clear window to see inside which lit my entire room up and it also had neons on the front so it got annoying at night. But now my new computer has only one neon fan in it and a solid case. I wanna do more to it, just don't have the money at the moment.

Nothing special about it right now, but i'm extremely happy with the performance and the way it runs my games compared to my old PC

I've never built a PC before but I've started one for D3 and TL2. http://www.toddusmaximus.com/2011/12/building-my-first-computer/

MOBO - Asus P8Z68-V Pro
CPU - Intel Core i5 – 2500
Video Card - EVGA GTX 560 Ti 1GB
Memory - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB (2x 4GB)

With your $1000 budget Toddus_Maximus, you have a lot of room to work with. My only suggestion would be to get a different PSU; Visiontek gets a hiding on HardOCP.

??

Why should I get a different PSU? What are the pros/cons? What PSU would you suggest?

This is their review of the 700w

I'd stick to corsair, thermaltake or antec and ocz. I haven't heard of visiontek until now but lesser known or dodgy brands are more likely to lie about actual wattage and quality.

As for pros and cons, this article on Toms Hardware better explains it than I could. I would never skimp on price/quality when it comes to a PSU.

Thanks for the tips. I was confused why you were talking about Visiontek but I realized that's what was the PSU originally recommended to me and the one I originally said I was going to use. I actually have already purchased a Corsair Builder Series CX600.

Got everyone confused - sorry!

My bad, I was going by the list on your blog.

I figured, that's why I said I confused everyone! Just glad to see that I went with the good one and not the crappy one.

this is mine :
CPU - Amd Phenom llX4 945
M/B - ASUS M4A88T-M
RAM - DDR3 4GB
Drive - 1GB HDD WD
Graphics - MSI R6850 PM2DIGD5
Power Supply - CM Extreme Power Supply 600W
Monitor - E222HD 21'5"

I wish I had more money to get a few things better, but this is should suffice. Cost me $830 approx :| and i just modded it a couple of days ago. will upload the picks of before and after the job. after i wake up

It matches my wallet
