After much research it appears the IB isn't worth the extra money and from what I've read this will more then suffice for a gaming rig
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) $99

Do SSD make a big performance difference, mainly in gaming( DIablo 3)?
I'll get any cd drive for 20 bucks
Total without SSD $800
Leaving me 200-300 to get a Mobo and Case.
Here's the problem, No clue what to get for a case or motherboard!! I want something that I can O/C the system with. I have no plans to go SLI.
I think I would prefer a mATX so its more portable, please comment. I've read to stick with asus or gigabyte for motherboard but I'm open to argument.
Please make any comments you can about this, I'm pretty new to this.
