Hey CAG's. I think I am finally ready to take on the endeavor of building my own PC. I have done some research and watched a "how to vid" from the OP. I feel fairly confident in building my own as I have upgraded/tinkered with the family computer numerous times. I feel as if the $1200
i7-930 + 5850 Build fits my budget. I understand I will have to pick out my optical drives,OS, speakers etc.
The only input I would like from you guys is how decent is this build now? I honestly don't have a ton of knowledge when it comes to how capable the hardware actually is. I noticed the MB doesnt do USB 3.0 and what your opinions on that are. I also wondered if both sides of the coolmaster case open. Naturally i can tell from the pics that the one side opens for installation but couldn't tell if the other side opens up for cable management.
Any other input would be much appreciated.
