The sage himself, Mr. Mfenn, helped me piece together a PC for my father in law recently. I needed a few odds and ends and went to Micro Center to get them.
Needless to say I've never been to MC before (it is only 10min away), and I was like a kid in a ToysRUs.
While I was there I got myself into a bit of trouble and picked up a Samsung 840 - 120gig and 3770K (they had that $229 deal going. I am going to keep it so no trying to convince me otherwise
). As well as a Corsair case.
My current build (see sig plz) will be kept, but I will be taking out a few storage drives and my 560ti for the time being.
With all that said there a few components I need some input on:
Disclaimer - I will OC eventually, just like I did my q6600. Also I like the idea of supporting Brick and Mortar so I would like to buy everything from my nearby MC. Plus they only have 3.5% sales tax there, which is better than the Egg.
Mobo - I can't decide between the http://www.microcenter.com/product/387554/Z77_Extreme4_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard or http://www.microcenter.com/search/s...4294922666&NTX=&NTT=&NTK=all&sortby=pricehigh
If you think there is something better let me know.
CPU Cooler - I am not looking to set OC records just something for a mild overclock.

Should do the job no?
Memory - this is a slight issue at MC, they only have a limited selection. I'd buy this from anywhere I suppose. Let me know.
PSU - Corsair would be my preferred choice. Their service has always been good to me and I'd like to remain loyal.
Thanks for reading
And Happy New Year to all of you.
