New i5 build. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I recently went though some withdrawal from my online gaming days. So, I decided to plan out a new rig. My goal is to have a mid-range gaming computer. Something that will allow me to enjoy current/future games for some time to come. I don't need an uber-killing machine, just something decent. Here is my list, any advice is much appreciated! Thank you in advance.
Everything is from Newegg.com

Comments
If you downgrade your board to an H55 you can save $90. If you go Western Digital non-Raptor drive, I recommend using a high storage Caviar Black. They have better performance then Caviar Blue. It would be the same dollar per GB ratio.
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
Case -> antec 300; smaller, better and cheaper.
Hdd -> samsung f3; hands down on this one.
Thanks so much guys. I'll have to look and change those.
