Building a PC  

Don't listen to Strud about the Cases. CoolerMaster is the best. And I think Strud Owns TT Stock. : P

Just a note about CPUs, if you decide to go Non-i7 Quad, spend a little more and bypass the Q8XXX series. They aren't bad, but they're missing quite a bit of options that the Q9XXX series have. (More Cache, VT, etc)

If you're leaning more towards a Dual Core, I love my E8400. Also, for a Motherboard, I'd stay away from the 780i Series unless you're really patient. It took me 4 tries to get one that worked and it seems to have happened to quite a few people. If they brought the 680i back, I'd swap my 780iFTW in for one in a heartbeat. LOL
