there is no seperate cpu cooler listed...

 

want to run it with the stock cooler? spend some extra bucks for a good cooling solution...

 

if you think about OCing the cpu its a must have and maybe you can buy the 2500K and get the same results at cpu speed

The RAM you have chosen is not on your mobo QVL.. but you shouldn't have a problem with it. It just means that it hasn't been tested to work on this mobo by ASUS. G.Skill makes good stuff, it's in my box.

 

You have a nice set up there Pig.

OK, I am going to have a problem getting a full sized box in my desk.....dammit.  So I am looking at a larger mid-tower.  I am looking at a Lian Li that looks pretty nice and is almost as big as a full sized and it will fit in my desk's little cubby hole.  I need the case to be under 21" tall and less than 22" deep.  Would I be able to get everything I want into a case like this?  Any recommendations?  I thought the one below lookednice.
