I would like to get some feedback on this build I will be getting very soon. I will be getting the i7 @ microcenter so don't tell me to get the 3570k. The mouse, keyboard, and headphones I will be getting adds up to $2oo so the build ends up being around $1,300.
1. Is the case big enough?
2. Do I need the wireless adapter or is the onboard WIFI good enough?
3. Is that CPU cooler going to be enough for this build. (Not going to OC too much/high.
4. Is everything compatible? Meaning, will everything fit, correct PIN numbers from the PSU to the mobo, gfx, etc.
5. Is there room for upgrades on this PC?
6. If there are any better parts to recommend, feel free to do so.
