Some final changes after more reading and consideration. Updated Parts List: Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ($56). I've read a ton since the last posting and this seems to be a real winner as far as quality, space, and value are concerned. The one recommendation I'll probably follow is to add...

After consideration, I'm 90% sure I'm goingto pull the trigger on the Seasonic M12II. It's $20 more than the S12, but given that I'm not going to be using a ton of components in my initial build. (1 SSD, 1 GFX Card, 1 Optical Drive) I'll probably hold off until tomorrow ordering in case anyone...

Apologies, on a mobile device and meant to post this to the Memory and Storage subforum. If a mod sees this, please feel free to move it.

I'm building a new PC and came across these as the best deal on newegg (CORSAIR XMS3 8GB) Any reason to spend $10 to $15 more on GSKILLS or another alternative?

Responses have been incredibly helpful. Thank you all for taking the time. Here is my current line of thinking with comments. Updated Parts List: Case: I'm suddenly considering a mid-tower. The main reason I wanted a full tower was better cooling and ease of installation as I haven't build...

Hello, everyone. I've been out of the loop for a few years on hardware and could use some assistance piecing together a mid-range gaming PC. The vision I want to follow is to spend where it counts, and not overspend for questionable gains/future-proofing. This is what I'm looking for: Use...
