Alright well that combo deal that was originally posted is no longer available can anyone suggest something else with the i5-2500k?

Alright here is a big curve ball, I am an AMD fan, have been since I started building computers. What is a good AMD processor and Motherboard combo I can get right now? P.s- I am looking for something I can overclock down the road.

I really like the case that you pointed out, I was also looking at the Antec Lanboy Air, what do you guys think of that case?

I know back when I built my 939 system Zalman coolers were the best air coolers on the market, is this still true or have things changed?

With that motherboard is the system overclockable if I get the bug to overclock it?

And this system should be able to play some of the new games coming out?

Practical case. Something with plenty of room for expansion and possibly water cooling down the road. Nothing flashy. I like conservative.

Well my system stays on all the time so I will not buy the SSD right now. I might use that money to buy a bigger case.

Do I really need to buy a SSD right away? What are the benefits?

Alright I am still running win xp on a socket 939 system, had this system for the past 5 years or so and I think it is time to build a new one. I am not looking to build the ultimate gaming machine. I am looking to spend around $1000 on everything including the case. I am looking to play games...

Alright I am in the market to build a new computer and I want to start at the heart of the rig. Before anyone questions the title, I have been a fan of AMD since the beginning of my computer building life. LOL. I am just a die hard AMD fan and I am going to continue my computer building life...

I have been considering the Antec Lanboy Air case as well and I was wondering if I could add filters to the fans I have installed in it to prevent some dust from entering the case or is it pointless with the mesh design?

What do you guys think of the Antec Lanboy Air case? I could start off with decent air cooling and then move into water cooling down the road if I so wish and I wouldn't have to change the case.

Well I would like something that would be upgradeable later on down the road.

Do I need to purchase a full tower case to do water cooling or can I get away with a mid-tower case?
