Also what full size tower would you recomend ? I was thinking the antec25.

Yes, make sure it's not one of the Sandy Bridge boards with the SATA chipset issue that Intel have been shipping to OEMs

If you buy from a reputable store (e.g. Newegg), they should have already replaced all the defective motherboards with updated ones from their suppliers.

I would avoid any "open box" deals on motherboards, for what it's worth.

That's what the "(B3)" means in the motherboard description. That's the version number of the fixed chipset.

List looks fine. Not sure what you mean by Antec25 for a case, need a link or better description.

Figured that was the one when you said Antec and full size tower.

Any particular reason you want/need a full size tower over a beefy sized mid tower? Like a whole lot of hard drives/optical drives or other options that'll take external bays like fan controller or multi disk hot swap housing?

Anywho, with up to six fans at least you shouldn't worry about keeping everything cool.

Antec is just promoting 25 years, the 1200 is very popular no matter what its incarnation. If you like it it will work fine.

No real reason for the full tower other than thats what I have now and it fits easily under my aquarium in the living room and I have big hands so the extra room is nice when cleaning and stuff.

Looks good!

Probably goes without saying, but make sure you buy the 64-bit Windows OS license so you can take advantage of that RAM.

actualy thats a good question. I purchased a 3 pack of the windows 7 OS way back when it was first avalable, I still have 2 left so can I just use my old winows xp disk and then upgrade to one of my 2 keys I have left right ?
