New i7 system build

[entropy1982]

Hey guys so after some input and considering having a company build a comp for me. I decided to give in and build another one myself. Gathering the advice some of you have given me This is what I have so far. I added some questions in there but if you have any input on any of the parts i would love some. My main issue now is I don't know which case to get. I would like a case where I would have to basically not replace any fans and maybe add 1 or 2 extra ones at most, but the cooling needs to be good enough for a moderate overclock without any issues. If you do have case suggestions maybe you can suggest which fans I should get to supplement it and where I would need to place them. I currently have a P180 and it definitely did a great job for the system these past 3 years but it gave me a lot of headaches with wire management etc, partially due to the fact that the PSU is on the bottom of the case.

I mainly play games, photoshop, browsing, etc.

I have plenty of spare cash so my budget is flexible, but at the same time I don't want to spend money just for the hell of saying I own something.

Intel Core i7 920 CPU

Asus P6T SE Intel X58 ATX Motherboard Any disadvantages to this mobo?

2 x G.Skill F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ 3 x 2GB DDR3 1600 RAM Any suggestions what brand/type may be better or is this one good?

BFG Tech BFGEGTX260896OCE GeForce GTX 260 896MB PCI-E Video Card

Vraptor 300GB for boot drive

1+ TB drive for storage Any suggestions?

Samsung SH-222F 22X DVD±R SATA DVD Burner

PC Power & Cooling S75CF 750W PSU

Xigmatek Dark Knight-S1283V 120mm HSF

I need one of those 12 in 1 card readers if anyone could recommend one

A new 2.1 speaker system would be nice if anyone has some suggestions on that.

Thanks guys

You know you don't have to create a new thread every time you change an idea.

Everything looks good, for a drive you could go for the Hitachi K71000 1TB drive, which are supposedly decent and at the price of $70-80.

2.1 speakers.. I've been out of the loop but Klipsch Promedia 2.1 were pretty good, but they're rare now.

No case?

Hehe sorry won't happen again

I am asking for suggestions for a case.

Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP ATX Case seems to be popular now, any feedback on that?

Edit: I have read a lot about the 690 and I think I will be going with it, it seems like a great case. Do you guys think I will be able to add some pretty silent fans to it and do away without having to use a fan controller? (I hate doing the wiring for fan controllers, especially wiht a lot of fans.)

That's completely dependent on how you set up the fans. If you have fans with 4-pin connectors, then no, you can wire it directly to the PSU and to each other. However, if you use 3-pin fans, chances are you need a fan controller.
