i5 Build in a Silverstone Fortress

[HighlandeR]

That spec above is sorta the ideal spec lately Core i5-750/5870/4gig PC
would last a good few years indeed

Only thing that gets me is in a few months time we may have 6 core cpus and Nvidia cards and worser refresh of ati cards, but then thats always the case !

My build is going to be very similar, I'm just worried the cooler will be too big for the RAM ( Might be upping it to 8gb)

What do you think, could I squeeze this on to the blue ram slots ?

i would change to one f1 1tb drive to save space and power.

just partition the drive into 2 5oogb if you want 2 drives.

I might change it it i7, for that extra performance and more advanced.

I'll never need 6 cores for a long time and how long untill the next cards come out, don't fancy paying 400-500 for one. So I think that vapor x is really powerful for the performance and reviews, no ?
