    What do you think of this rig? Any suggestions? I'm going to be using it for a gaming PC.

    not bad, in all honesty

    I would just grab a 60GB SSD and use Intels Cache system where the 60gb SSD acts as a superfast cache for the HDD, improves performance by moving most used files to the SSD, something worth looking into and would cut the cost a bit,

    another thing i would do is change the case to something a bit better,

    Right, so here's my rig now. Are there any changes I can make to make it cheaper while keeping the same performance? Are there any compatibility issues?
