You getting the AMD 6000+ good choice!! I have the 6400+ the 6000+ will run circles around some of the INtels out there. Why that ram though? I would get some crucial or something like that..

As far as a case see below for the one I have.. Keeps everything cool also I will show you what heatsink I have keeps the cpu at 21c and never above 41c under heavy load..

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail


Newegg.com - ZEROtherm BTF90 92mm Silent UFO CPU Cooler - Retail
