| Hello all this will be my first computer build and I'm gonna need some help from you guys. I'm just making sure this rig is going to be good and that I have everything I'm going to need and I'm hopefully missing nothing. I will be using it for mid-range gaming. Here are the specs (I also used some of Carbon's guide btw  really helped thanks!!) I also need help choosing a case which ill post last. Thanks!Hard Drive - WD 320GB CD/DVD Drive - SAMSUNG SH-S223B (Who cares about this lol) Motherboard - GA-MA790X-UD4P Video Card - SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4770 512MB PSU - OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W RAM - G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 800 CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 720 CPU Cooler - Coolermaster V8 This is need help deciding!!  Case - CM Storm Scout or Lancool PC-K62 I like them both they are both sexy cases but I can only choose one. You guys help me decide  Thank you all in advance for your time and help. |

| Just as a heads up to anyone else, we discussed this on MSN last night, so it should be good now.

| Really miffed now, the StealthXStream I got is the same as the ModXStream but not modular for the same price.. blast. As for the case, have a look at the Antec 902. I know Carbon would much rather you blend your cash than buy one but it's the same as the Scout, just a little bigger in some places. Out of the 2, I'd say the Scout. Reviews say the Lancool is a bit cheap feeling. If you have the extra cash, look into the CM V10 too. That can cool a car, let alone a CPU lol. Rest of the components are fine and all made from high quality manufacturers, well done. EDIT: Carbons post wasn't here when I began typing that up there. I'll leave my words up for anyone else who might want to look. |

| The StealthXTreme is better than the ModXTreme but they're both pretty mediocre/bad PSUs when it comes to ripple and efficiency.

 I've never come accross either of them before but you can practically tell they're mediocre from the name, obviously to appeal to gamers.... |

| OCZ. The StealthXStream isn't much of a gamers thing, it's black and has 600W of oomph. 85% efficiency and it doesn't tick and go boom. For about £50-£60 they're alright. |
