how dose this look? im most worried about the psu / case because the case has the psu at the bottom and the psu has its fan on the bottom too. will this cause problems or dose the psu go in upside or something? and some things are OEM, what dose this meen and what are the disadvantages/advantages. thanks

aslong as the ram is compatible with the mobo, it looks good to me :)

if theres no holes in the bottom/back of the case im sure its ok to put the psu upside down, aslong as the psu fan intakes some air.

OEM simply means its without tons of packaging and an OEM cpu is also without its stock fan.

what monitor will you be using?

If i were you i'd save a little on the case and get the Coolermaster Elite 335 instead. I have it and think it looks really good, although to be fair i have never seen the dominator in the flesh.
 
thanks, im not bothered about looks and im happy to spend that amound on somthing with good cooling, but if the 335 is as good ill take a look, thanks. ill be using a 24" 1900x1200 monitor. its only the optical drive. im still a little worried about the psu though. has anyone got a 100% yes that they work upside down? thanks
 
if your worried about the PSU being at the bottom the silverstone TJ09 has a cage at the bottom of the case and it has small stands so the bottom doesn't hit the floor.
