Hi, I am building a new computer from scratch since my former laptop was more than done for (and I want a desktop computer) and are just looking for opinions as to how well these components work together and perhaps if there are improvements or alternatives that will give basically the same (if better) results, while still being cheaper.

However, I do already have a proper monitor, keyboard and mouse at my disposal which will work for now. [editline]1st January 2013[/editline] Why I did not include any budget was beacuse the prices already differ (compared to the link) since I'm living in Sweden, thus I thought it would be better if people could just look by the products. And if I am to get offers/opinions regarding anything which can be switched out/changed, I will look it up on my own. For those who live here, I'm planning on getting most parts from Inet. Cannot seem to find a place with better prices. [editline]1st January 2013[/editline] Oh, and I just noticed that I actually have this semi-old drive lying around. Would it make any noticeable difference to use it instead? [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136490]WD10EARS[/url]
HAF 912
The green drives are kind of slow, but it would work.
Which one should I pick? The prices are literally identical for me. [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352007]Fractal Design Arc Midi[/url] or [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233]HAF 912[/url] As stated above. Also, I saw that the green drive was slower, but do you think the difference will actually be noticed?
Fractal
Would [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315]THIS[/url] be a better RAM? Seems to be basically the same + heat spreader and a cheaper price for me.
Up to you, you won't notice the difference most likely.
Get a 650W instead in case you want to upgrade to faster RAM / SLI 660Tis later. Corsair makes great PSUs [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020[/url]
