Oh dear god, that case is horribly overpriced for what it is.

Let me try something better...

There... Now isn't that better?

I know for a fact that the processor is FAR superior.

I can do an AMD based build if you so desire.

Would you like me to do the AMD build?

Also, do you need a Blu-ray/DVD drive?
Because that money could go into a faster processor, which is vital for dolphin.


Too bad on the case, I don't think that can be done for $500.


Oh here we go:

That lacks a PSU.

^Try that instead.

Also, please answer my other questions.

bluray drive is not needed now but would be nice to have a case to support in the future. would that case work size-wise with a dedicated gpu?

and an AMD build would be fantastic!

NO, that case wouldn't fit most GPUs, you'd need a tower like the one I mentioned earlier.

EDIT: You could put the tower on its side. Just an idea.

I'm looking around for cases similar to the thermaltake size with a PSU....they're small but look big enough to house a dedicated gpu
