Uhh, was there really a need to create a new thread? You could continue your discussion in the original thread, or the stickied thread. THat's what that thread is for, discussion on DIY rigs and advice/suggestion on price.

Anyway, will fit, no problem. The HAF932 is a very good casing. Get a good heatsink to go along with it, like a Megahalem with 2 Noctua 120mm fans (If you feel like not having drab black fans) or 2 AVC 120mm fans (If you prefer performance). A Venemous X is good too, though the best bang-for-the-buck heatsink I can recommend is the Hyper212+. A very good cooler for the price.

Check the 2nd page, under System cooling fan. You'll find it @ $55.

Wireless network card, I'm not one to advise, since I'l tell you to get any from reputable brands (I use Gigabit LAN, screw wireless)

Funan, Sim Lim also can.

The brand should be NetGear if I'm not wrong.

Up to you. I would recommend floor if your case is huge or heavy, unless you sure your table can tahan. I prefer table though.

The hyper 212+ is good for its price, but it does quite badly at removing heat quickly.

So unless on a budget, don't buy the hyper 212+.

Does quite badly? It's actually pretty good, and any inefficiency can be due to too much thermal paste or improper mounting. I've used a Hyper 212 (Non-plus) version before and that was one of the better coolers I've ever used, and I've used quite a lot. The Plus version is a lot better.

You'd be surprised at how many people use too much thermal paste or use it wrongly, especially on HDT-style coolers.

dont waste money on 1866mhz rams, 1600 is good enough and not much diff anyway

looking at your rig, why not throw in a ssd since u plan to spend so much?

Rubbish.

Bad is spending much on a CM V8 and finding out that it's claimed 'TEC' technology doesn't work.

Hyper 212+ paired with 2 AVC F1225B12V's in P/P will walk all over the V8 and cost less at the same time.

It keeps a Phenom II quadcore idling nicely at below 40.

BTW: 10k posts :D

I meant for overclockers...since normal users wont care about their intel stock fan.

Note that i mentioned "quickly".

As in rising temps during high load.

Note that ALL COOLERS will have temps that rise quickly under load. I've got a Xigmatek Red Scorpion cooler, and Xigmatek was the pioneer in HDT coolers. Even this one has temps that rise quickly during load.

My H50 sees that nice lil' hill @3.2GHz :D

The HAF932 has low speed fans, which can be even slower with fan controllers. If you really want to know what's damn hell loud, listen to my rig.

And an SSD beats the VelociRaptor in speed. But use a VelociRaptor (Especially the 600GB and 400GB versions) if you want a balance between speed and storage.

You will need to check with the shop, because I'm really not sure about the Blackline.

And forget about the 300GB VelociRaptors. 2TB Caviar Black drives have similar speeds. If you want a VR drive, wait for the 450GB and 600GB drives to hit the shelves.
