Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this system configuration (asap):

Who is picking your cases- Stevie Wonder?

How about this case (it's our standard build model) and this power supply (ditto).

Less money and guaranteed high quality.

ok, buy im gonna go with this case

Glad to see you made the switch to intel, if I were to upgrade at this point, I would be choosing that route....

Unless NZXT has suddenly been absorbed by Lian-li or somebody, their case quality is hideous.
One last try...how about this one- still my absolute fave mid-priced case.

Yes.

And the Stacker there is brilliant, assuming you've got room for it and all.
It's very easy to work with.

The reviews on Newegg are written by morons and should in no way be accepted as the thoughts of someone with brainwave activity.

The Stacker is, as noted by Snee, "brilliant" but I now wonder why you are going for such a large case (even the NZXT was larger than necessary). None of your hardware requires so much room and unless you plan on watercooling, a mid-tower would easily accomodate the PC.

BTW, do not confuse a multitude of fans with "good cooling".
That is simply not how it works.

Well, what started as "can i upgrade a pirated windows with a legit version" (other post) that turned into finding a student version of XP has now turned into me spending $819 on a nice new system!!

I would have bought a p.o.s. system with a genuine version of windows if it weren't for the help of all of you guys. I'm real excited about my pc.. (never had a fancy psu before :P)

ill make a post of the final specs a little later, but thanks again for everyones help!

Is this being built for you or are you assembling yourself?

built for me, only for the 3 year included warranty and free shipping and no tax
