everything looks good, memory could be cheaper if you were willing to go to 1333 instead of 1600.

I think you're picking the wrong motherboard

the M version is the smaller version, pretty sure you want the full size.

My P8P67 Pro arrived today, gonna wait until tomorrow when my OCZ Vertex 3 MaxIOPS shows up to actually build it.. though waiting is proving harder than I thought lol

From the looks of it, he meant to get that motherboard. Who else would buy a HAF 912 other than someone who is getting a MicroATX mobo?

Also, making an account to respond to him is one thing, making your account name "Wrongmobo" is imo a little bit much.

Made an account to have access to reply to this. Problem?

I would half the RAM amount and get faster RAM instead. Your MOBO supports (In MHZ ofc) 2200/2133/2000/1866/1600/1333/1066. Do note that the MOBO will run 2200/2000/1800 at 2133/1866/1600 as default. (so you will have to manualy change the settings.)

So i would get either 4GB or if you do allot of multi tasking 6GB and get faster RAM instead. In adition, if you buy 1600 now and want to buy faster RAM later you cant use the 1600MHZ. EXAMPLE - You can combine a 2000MHZ 2GB and a 1600MHZ 2GB but the 1600MHZ will be max speed.

8GB is not that much of a use either for gaming. No games will make use of 8GB or even 6GB for gaming. And very few if any will make use of 4GB. So any extra amount of ram above 4GB will be spent on other tasks.

What? HAF912 is actually very spacious, check the dimensions. I'd vote it as the #1 case for new PC builders on a budget.
Photos don't do it justice...it's about 1-2 inches smaller than a 922, which is still more than big enough for ATX and can fit 11" cards with HDD bay rotated >_<

@OP, go for it! People are just being really picky here, that build is 100% ready to go. 8gb RAM = futureproofing
