I think it looks alright. You can find better prices than TigerDirect, they tend to be a little more expensive.

You could always play the waiting game and maybe get something from the HD7000 series which will be out shortly.

I have the same cooler, and I'm really pleased with it. But TigerDirect's price is quite high (I got it for $40 last year). If you're willing to spend that much, check out the H60 or one of Corsair's newer models. I think they improved the mounting, which is really my only complaint with the unit.

I think Memory Express is supposed to have a really good i5 combo on sale for Boxing Day. It sold out really fast but they are supposed to get more in stock again. It will probably sell out immediately again, but it might be worth a shot. Here's the combo

Also compare prices with NCIX and Canada Computers

I'd recommend buying from Memory Express if they have the items you want. They have a Price Match where they'll beat a competitor's price by 25% of the difference. And since you're buying an entire system that will cost over $250 shipping will be free.

Cooler is a bit pricey but other than that it looks fine.

Ask Rob whatever motherboard he got and get anything but that one.

The case is pretty solid but gets hot fast from what I have seen, I would like to see how the cooler goes because I like the case in every other regard, my current rig is in a hat box.

Ask Rob whatever motherboard he got and get anything but that one.

hahaha. he hasn't said anything yet so shhh! :D

[JOEMAMA]

I have that case, no problems despite having a bunch of components in there.

Memory Express has the H60 for $50 (after $10 rebate). Better price than the H50 from TigerDirect, and a better unit.

Ya, and you can get memory for cheaper elsewhere too. Use Shopbot to compare prices at least. And also, the AMD Radeon 7000 series is due to come out early January. The 6950 might get cheaper.

[ChrisAteUrShoe]

so the motherboard is intel and the graphics card says amd, there not compatable right?
