The only thing i can say is id like a psu that has a bottom or top fan so i can take advantage of that in my case. It has to be 80+ certified plz.

Is there anything here u think i should change? Let me know your guys criticisms thanks!

if you go for this combo, i believe you should be able to get BOTH shogun 2 and dirt 2:

well...if $5 more is too rich for your blood, then i will actually suggest a cheaper dvd burner:

also happens to be all black, which is nice.

i think i will go with this corsair psu instead. i think its a huge upgrade visually and it has a huge MIR 😀

im gonna change my dvd/cd combo cause sony is a decent brand and its a total of 7 dollars cheaper if u include shipping!
