Not allowed to post competitor websites on here mate. Best off just listing what you've chosen here rather than posting the website you're buying it from.

It's aaaaall in the FAQ!!!

True... Have not spent to much time researching cases..

What do you suggest bro?

Antec 1200, akasa eclipse 62/mirage, akasa omega, akasa infiniti, antec p182, nzxt tempest.

I wouldn't waste my money on a DDR3 setup either. DDR2 is pretty much as fast and is half the cost. Cooler wise the best value one is the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. It offers performance up there with the best of them but is about 60% of the price of the likes of the Thermalright (it is in the UK anyway).

thanks for input! but the deal is that i really want the rampage extreme and it only comes ddr3

Also what about the ocz vendetta 2? ive heard a lot of good things about it, what do you think?

Disagree with P182 v Stacker (at least my against 810) Stacker is the better case, although I agree the 830 looks pants

It's alright but for what it is it's overpriced, it's just too plasticy looking.
