there's no problem for the ram and motherboard. Go with the blue ones, they are slightly faster, smaller timmings For the price difference it's worth it

Thank you gablain! I've just looked over some websites (Shopbot.ca) for the K62, and DirectCanada.com is selling it for $109, shipping included (For $300+ orders), so that's a great deal for me, living in the canada!

with personal experience with the case ill shed some light of the pros and cons ive found
  • all 4 fans are 3 pin (so need to invest in a controller or make sure your mobo has enough)
  • i noticed the intake isnt as strong as the outake of the top 2 140mm fans so dust can be sucked through the pci espansions slots but with better fans can overcomes this
  • theres dust filters in every intake so thats a plus..
  • when this case said its tooless i never expected a complete tooles case... no joke... i never used a screwdriver once
  • cable management is awesome, plenty of holes to wire your cables
  • hard drive cage can be put inline with the pci slots or facing directly at you through the window.. also since u can install the hd's in the slots u can put them in the other way around hiding the sata/power cables from showing, the 5850 will definetly fit in this case and the 5870 allthough xfire 5870 will probs need the hd cage turning around
  • i cant see anywhere or how to install a watercooling kit in this case unless your reomove the hd cage, the looks of the case are fabulous and people complaining saying theres cheap plastic is far from it.. it is a complete steel cage with black glass interior and the plastic is sturdy and rigid
  • theres only 2 tooless features for the DVD drive bays
  • excelent ant vibration features as well and the case is quiet... in my old case i can put my gpu fan upto 60% without hearing it ova my case... now this one my gpu can only be 40% without hearing it ova my old one and still same if not waay better efficent cooling

Anyways. This should look like my final build :

Newegg.ca is far to expensive! Check it out...

I know the mobo and gpu are out of stock. They will come back in soon, ... . (I hope.)

That power supply seems reliable, I checked the comments on NewEgg.com and it's working for everyone like it should be working.

Thank you for your comment GekzOverlord, it helped me alot with the features that this case was giving, so a Rep+ for you!

EDIT : If it's intake, there's only one 140mm intake fan, right? Thus I should only replace one of the four with a Xigmatek?
