This case was designed with "A good all-rounder that's been made with a strong focus on silent operation" in mind.
Why i went with these parts:
- Case: Nice (cheap?) case that has a lot of possibilities, yet extremely quiet and slick. Includes 2 very quiet fans.
- Motherboard: Good brand with decent chipset on the AM3+ socket. This was also one of the cheapest boards that had angled SATA ports, a must have in every case imo.
- CPU: w/ Price to performance this thing is a beast. That simple.
- RAM: Nice Kingston 2x4GB kit. Why the heck wouldn't you go for Kingston?
- GPU: Nice GPU that i managed to fit within the budget.
- Storage: I was debating whether i should go for a 128GB evo and HDD, or just 250GB. I went for the 250GB. I have my NAS on the network, so i'll store most of my shit there. Yet again, you could take this configuration and do something completely different with it. Storage configurations are really a personal thing imo.
- PSU: Awesome power supply that's really quiet, modulair and future ready with this system.
- Extra: I included a kickass CPU cooler with this build. This because i want the system to be silent, and perhaps a bit overclockable?
Anyhow, the price / performance of this thing is just nuts. Buy it. Now.
