32 GB of ram, even for that 16GB is plenty, no need for pro.

 

[DarkSable]

Home premium. For gaming / home use you gain no benefit from the other versions.

 

[darksparten]

Photoshop/Vegas you may want 16, but you'll do fine with 8.

if you have all version of windows install ultimate. there is no downside to installing ultimate other then price.

this is better with a ssd. also if you go to micro center you can get the msi Z77A-G41 for $40 after $10 MIR. that would save you $100. i know he loves recommending the samsung ram but unless you know how to overclock them your spending money for slower ram.

That ram doesn't have free shipping, it's easy to do(oc the ram), a guide here for everything : http://www.overclock.net/t/1247413/ivy-bridge-overclocking-guide-with-ln2-guide-at-the-end

 

[darksparten]

If you really want 1.35v(RAM OC makes next to no difference, most of the time the RAM will underclock to 1066/1333 anyways). Corsair makes 1.35v with heatspreaders, I highly reccomend heatspreaders as it will extend your product lifetime by a lot by reducing stress on the chip.

I'd highly suggest a Caviar Black over a Barracuda, Caviar Blacks are not only faster, they have a much lower failure rate and an unbeatable 5-year warranty.

 

[jonjonjon]

$100 and over ships from ncix for free. so if he got the case and hdd it would.

and that NZXT Phantom 410 CA-PH410-B case from newegg has $10 shipping so its really $110.

Any last thoughts on listed items before i buy it?

 

[djangoringo]

Well since you like the phantom case, the only thing to recommend is a ssd, like a crucial m4, sandisk extreme, samsung 830 with 120-128GB.
If you don't need one, then just pull the trigger and good luck with your build.

That monitor is not good(the ASUS), get this : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vs239hp

 

[jonjonjon]

that sandisk uses asynchronous nand.

 

[djangoringo]

I thought it was the extreme, my bad, there's the crucial m4 at a good price, though.
