Looks pretty good. As5 is kinda old , beat by others. Not a lot of diff, just 2 C maybe.

jabroni · Aug 9, 2011

oh the thermal i just added cuz i had no idea, what should i add instead?

also what would be a good second fan to add to the hyper 212+

It's unusual to use a USB wifi adapter in a desktop computer. You'd be better off using an internal PCI or PCI-E solution instead.

Use this for PCI - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166033
or use this for PCI-E - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166063

Also, maybe look at Arctic Cooling MX-2 or MX-4 TIM.

Having said that your choices look pretty good. Everything will work even without having to make changes so feel free to ignore suggestions.

You want one of those SSDs, that Crucial is last gen. I believe the OCZ Agility 3 is the best price/performance there. Don't get the Force 3 though, as you can tell by the two egg rating, Corsair is having issues and there's a recall on that drive.

For wireless, any of these will be fine. IMO, there's no reason against using USB though, it's whatever you prefer. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...,1330:10139&bop=And&Order=REVIEWS&PageSize=20

Try go with one of the cards with two antenna's as otherwise you're limited to a max link speed of 150mbps with Wi-fi N (also known as "Lite"), 300mbps is possible with dual band provided to also have a dual band wi-fi n router

I thought the M4 was Crucials new generation?

Knufire · Aug 10, 2011

Don't think Crucial has released drives this generation yet.

jabroni · Aug 10, 2011

So wait the m4 isnt same gen as vertex 3? I thought it was, so is it not a good ssd to get

Knufire · Aug 10, 2011

Nope. M4 is about 300MB/s read 100MB/s write, while the Vertex 3 is 500/500 at least.
