RAM

Motherboards with only two memory slots are definitely the minority though. As of now, the 'egg has 101 AMD motherboards with 4 DDR3 slots, and only 55 with 2 slots. For Intel boards, there are 171 with 4 DDR3 slots, and 85 with 2 DDR3 slots. I'm guessing those with only two slots are used mainly in budget OEM systems.

Mine has four slots, which I am sure is all I will ever need.

I don't want to mess with overclocking (at least not in the predictable future. my parents have forbidden the use of liquid cooling in the house and I don't want to mess with overclocking when all I can work with is fans, fans and more fans), which is why I chose the 2600 i7. I will definitely be using 2x4GB at this point as well.

I will definitely be overclocking things in several years when I make my next project. I picked up a stainless steel thing that work was about to throw in the dumpster. It's the same size and shape as a large ATX case and will accommodate a watercooling system inside. With the proper mods that thing will look and be epic. That will be my overclocking project.

As for the liquid cooling, they are worried that something will go wrong with it and the liquid will get on a component it shouldn't and start a fire.

The graphics card will be the MSI Radeon HD 6670.

That's rather hilarious, actually.

You know what, screw liquid cooling. If you're going to do a case mod, do something like this.



Just make sure you monitor the humidity in the case. Depending on your climate and air conditioner, there could be condensation in the case, and that wouldn't be good. But I think it would probably be fine.

LOL... I could make a real beast of a computer with that kind of cooling.
