I'm planing on upgrading the CPU to Fx-8350 around New Year and build another one with that Fx-6300 for my brother pc. And I have a Segate Baracuda 2T and another 750GB drive from current PC.
I'm planing on using this pc for mostly Starcraft II (I play a lot of fastest map and mass build an army).
maybe other games like BL2, D3, BF4, and Witcher 3 (when it comes out).
the mobo and the cpu are better but if you have the patience i would wait for the changes in the GPU market and maybe save up for a 290 with a aftermarket cooler. but that is my personal opinion.
I have this case, I wouldn't use it for a $1000 build. It only has 11 inches exactly for video card room and no real way to route cables except between the video card and HD tray. Though I suppose if you do use the full 11 inches, you could have them go between the video card and the left side panel. I also would have preferred a few more options for cooling, maybe two fan mounts in front and a single bigger fan on the side panel or something. A good case can last a long time even though the instinct is save a few bucks. I, at least, have regretted skimping a bit.
ok with the input of the person above you indeed should reconsider the case maube go for a fractel core 3000 it will cost you some more but dont skimp on the case or if you want just an awesome case you should consider the fractel define r4 (i love the case its just so versatile)
I didn't want to skim out on the case but the desk I'm using right now really limit the case I can pick to fit into the pc holder. If you guys can recommend a case that has dimension of (LxWxD) 22x10x18 or less.
