Going with that cpu, would I still use the same memory? What do you like about the antec case over the ultra? I really have no idea how to pair them up. Maybe getting too old to begin. Used to be pretty good with these things, but haven't kept up with them. |

If your going to be doing graphics, I'd suggest adding more memory. 8GB's if you can, 6GB other wise.
Don't forget about a good PSU, this is something many home builders forget about, and it is amazing all the issues a poor PSU will cause, as well as limiting your system upgrades. |
I am planning to go with the Quad, as the price difference is not that much. I have a Corsair TX650W PSU. That should be sufficient I would imagine. |

What do you like about that case that the Ultra can't deliver? I am looking for running cool and quiet. Wouldn't a tower run cooler than a mini tower? |
