    yeah I think I'll be keeping my old case to save some cash, and grab a new board, cpu, and vid card. I don't think I'll be OCing anything on my own, and my current case has a TON of fans, and a really good heat sink for my CPU. I'll probably go for a 3770 like you have, and the vid card Kowlefe recommended, a 770

    Overclocking these days is childs play man, you push a button and voila! I shall add in guides and stuffs if you're interested, even a small increase can cause a crazy improvement in speed.

    Here's my list so far. I went with an i7 just because lol. Pretty sure everything looks nice and compatible. I decided to grab a new case and sell off my old one. This new case just looks so damn cool and easier to wire. Also decided to get a liquid cooler. I've never done it before so I'm not to familiar with them, if they're plug and play or if I need to literally add water lol :) I figured I'd get one to overclock at some point in the future.

    The corsairs are all plug and play and the list is looking good. Also, easy to wire? Pffft, I have two hard drives that sit on the floor beside my half disassembled so it all fits together pc,

    here's the link to the one I have. When the new parts I order (probably tonight or tomorrow) arrive, I can send you this case for a good price and shipping yadda yadda.
