[QUOTE="allanw, post: 359795, member: 54790"] I was originally going to go with 2GB of RAM but like you said it's cheap at the moment (only $10 AU extra for another 2GB in fact) so 4GB will be great. The scythe mini ninja looks good but is just a bit too high for my case so I have been looking at the Scythe Shuriken which seems to have some good reviews. The 8200 will definately be something I try out with the possibility of having to get a low profile video card if needed. I will definately keep you posted once the machine is built and I have tried out some 1080p content using the 8200. As for the PSU I hadn't decided yet but was thinking of the lowest watt PSU that antec make that has modular cables. I have used Antec for a while and I have always been happy with their products. The reason I want to go modular cabling is to keep as much free space inside the case as possible to increase air flow. Im not worried if it's not silent, I just need it to be fairly quiet. The case arrived this afternoon and it looks absolutely fantastic I can't wait until I start getting enough parts arriving to get into building it. Thanks for your reply too it's been good getting some feedback. [/QUOTE]
