not sure if those r the best prices.

haf932 case can be found for 100$
120gb ssd - 180$
and use someone elses windows7, i think u get a few installs with it.

Probably, I was just showing it as a) a comparison (i.e. what NCIX's idea of a 1100T rig would be like) and b) that they too like the HAF 932 case.

In the end, if you're willing to put the parts together yourself, and buy they from wherever the best deal(s) are, you can save a bunch. It's the old trade-off, your time or your money.

Well my intent is not to overclock to 4.2. I would prolly go for like 3.5 max or 3.6 and electricity isn't a problem anyway. (Its my schools.. owned) 1100t is only like $20 more so I goin with it anyway. It was just an idea to overclock, im not really a fan of it cuz i dont want the chip to fry, however if i ever did need to or even want to i was jw if i could. I am getting watercooling as well it is Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System. Now the DDR3 2000MHz compared to the 1600MHz, is that the rate at which the information is going or what. Ive read that if ur ram is to slow it can slow down ur cpu (not really slow it down but make it less efficient)

Using the best RAM you can get makes a huge difference. It not only gives you more headroom to push the rest of the system further, it also allows you to squeeze the most out of a mild overclock. I definitely say you should OC the muddafucka to 4.2 if you're gonna watercool at least the CPU.

You won't fry the chip because it's already been tested by others to hit that frequency fine. Also, people think CPUs are a lot more fragile than they really are. Even in the OC community I've faced a lot of naysayers doing all kinds of "dangerous" shit to my chip and here I am after lots of insane torture testing proving them wrong because they're regurgitating the same old tired bullshit that they read somewhere and believe with all their hearts to be true because someone somewhere said it with enough confidence.
