    200+ views and only one reply? Bruce has helped me a lot but I would still appreciate further opinions..
    I would add but I'm in the US and too lazy go trekking through European sites. I will add this though I don't see why everyone loves those plain looking fractal cases I personally used 2 of the different Corsair cases and really like the looks/features on those.

    What looks "plain" to you is appealing to those who want something simplistic yet functional. I like my clean and somewhat classy case look compared to other cases that look flashy and would be more appealing to myself when I was maybe 14 years old.

    These Fractal Design cases are great. Even the smaller cases boast great cable management potential and are very build friendly. All while being in a quality built case in comparison to monstrous looking cases built of cheap plastic in all the colors of the rainbow.

    Missed this earlier. i5 3570K stock cooler comes with pre-applied paste on the heatsink. Similarly, the H100 also comes with a pre-applied layer on the cooling block - and it's actually some really decent paste, something which can't be said very often about pre-applied stuff. No need to buy any TIM

    So next week would I be able to use the I5, sabertooth, Corsair 8gb memory, current gtx 260, current cpu. Don't think current case will be compatable with cooler.
    Ohh right you've got some older parts lying around :P
    You can install the Mobo + CPU + RAM, use the stock cooler tempoarily while waiting for the case, PSU, GPU, H100 etc to arrive later.
