Ok, so I'm planning out a build and wanted to consort with the masses about this build. I've read through as many different threads that I can and have determined what might be best:
Getting most everything from Newegg because I've used them a lot and trust what they have.
The Case: A Silverstone Sugo Series SG07B (Usb 3.0 kind)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811163212
Cost: $199.99
The CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz
Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000
BX80637I73770K
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6819116501
Cost: $329.99

Cost: $102.99

Cost: $231.98
Secondary HD:
2 TB Spare I have to hold most of the games.
[color=#990099]My Goal:
Play Mariokart Double-Dash and Mariokart Wii 4 players simultaneously with decent anti-aliasing. Will this work?[/color]
I'm considering other cooling options rather than the stock CPU cooler, but I wasn't sure what would fit or hinder in the case.
The air duct fan at the top blows air in, but that might not be enough. I considered this: Intel RTS2011LC --- but I wasn't sure if that was wise, and where that would fit in the case.
I'm trying to keep the build AS SMALL AS POSSIBLE, so that I can keep it in my entertainment center. Right now I have a mac mini in there running my emulators through a special boot-camp partition, but it can't keep up with the gamecube and wii games.
