as much as i would love a nice fancy case, right now i dont have a ton of cash. maybe once i get a job, which i dont have atm i can upgrade. this is a starter for me, even if it is a fairly powerful one, imo

Your selection looks much better now. You could still get the price down another 90$ or so by getting a cheaper mainboard in case you don't need all the additional stuff. You can already get a decent mobo for around 100$.

PS: For the same price you could get this case which offers more space: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-.../dp/B007ZOB9MM

its the same price, but i would be ordering it off of newegg as amazon.ca does not have the same tower. on newegg it works out to about 120-130 with shipping (shipping was about 40 bucks on newegg). i like that tower (i was looking at it previously) but its a little expensive with shipping and all. i think ill stick to this tower. im confident everything will fit even if its a little cramped im sure there will still be enough airflow.

I would not pay 40$ for shipping either.

yeah if theres one con i have about newegg during my time shopping for this computer, is they have expensive shipping. the other company i was going to go through, memory express, has 5 dollar shipping. thats it. 5 bucks to ship everything you are buying to their door. only problem? they only accept credit card online. newegg accepts interact (canadian debit) so i can take money straight from my bank account.
