It is a very decent and futureproof build. The link for the mobo is anothe processor but I looked up the model.

I agree with Luis. It looks like a nice build and should the parts will work just fine as you have them laid out. I was originally a tad bit concerned with your chosen heatsink, as I've built machines in the past with the same unit (fantastic unit, btw, would highly recommend purchasing an additional fan for it) and they've been a tight fit. However, the case you've chosen looks fairly large (the only case I've worked with that's bigger than that is the Corsair Obsidian) by the dimensions listed, however I'm not sure if those dimensions include or disclude the part of the case that's used for cable management. You might even be able to fit extra fans on that side panel in addition to the heatsink. The only downsides to that case is the lack of air filters around the fans and USB 3.0, but other than that it looks fairly solid.

If I could make a suggestion, why not switch that CPU to an AMD PhenomX6. They tend to be cheaper and just as good as intel. And you can't go wrong with six cores. I'm pretty sure its around the same price as the i5 youre looking at, but double-check me on that.

Quote: They tend to be cheaper and just as good as intel. AMD is for low-mid range PCs, nothing they have is good for gaming rig. Sandy Bridge demolishes the Bulldozer in every benchmark, stick with the SB IMO. I'd suggest you get it factory OC'd because you get a warranty, but you don't really need to OC the SB ATM anyway.

If you don't have the money to buy it yet, what's the point in looking for parts? Unless it's a matter of a few weeks to save up; the parts you planned to get may no longer be the best option.

And the i5-2500K is cheaper than any of the Bulldozers... ($230, with much better performance) Of course, the best gaming-grade CPUs are the i7-3930K, and the i7-3960X. ($600 and $1050 respectively)
