I m not using a stock cooler.. I m using the Scythe SCMG-2100 which should be a little better than CM Hyper 212+.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185142&Tpk=Scythe%20SCMG-2100 What is ideal CPU temps when using an after-market cooler?

It is 200mm LED fan.. the other 2 fans - connected to mobo - are 120mm each

Since the ASUS mobo supports SATA III 6Gb/s shouldnt I got with a 6Gb/s vs 3Gb/s harddrive? Is there a big difference? Here is the HDD I m looking at: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533

I did not compare the 922 vs Storm scout.. I was comparing the 912 vs 922 and thought 922 has much more room for future expansion and even for future builds. So I just went with it. For the PSU, I agree that I dont need a 650W PSU now and the Antec 550W will do. My concern is if I start...

I think I m gonna go with HAF 922 because it has plenty of room and it might last a while as I add more parts. For PSU as I add a better graphic card wont I need the extra power (550 vs 650) and I think I'd rather go with Corsair or Antec.. any suggestions? For HeatSink: I read a lot of ppl...
