  Case: Corsair 200r - $50 (-$10 MIR)
  Wireless adapters: EDIMAX EW-7811Un & TP-LINK TL-WN881ND ($24)
  
  Plan on getting

  splat just wants this .-. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121770 and a PSU of some sort to power it
  
  also how does a build with a single part that almost cost $300.00 alone = $148.73 total ??

  Get the MSI version it has the better core clock, and better cooling.
  
  Also my friend is buying me the parts, I only bought two of them.
  He's pretty darn cool.

  If I might say,
  GPU: Good choice, but any particular reason why MSI? If I may say, EVGA has the better warranty and customer support, and their twin fan coolers run at a lower temp and Db level, and since Nvidia locks out any voltage changes to the boards... the EVGA card should hold most if not all advantages. (customer loyalty to MSI aside perhaps?) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130933 / http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130953
  RAM: +1
  CPU cooler: If I might suggest a couple of things, mainly getting an aftermarket thermal compound as CM doesn't exactly have very good TIM. I suggest GELID GC-Exterme personally. Also, if you have a bit better of a budget, CM's TPC 612 is a great buy at $50 and performs like a lot of far more expensive coolers, and is a -lot- better of a heatsink if you plan on overclocking yoru FX chip.
  
  
  As for me, if my fiance keeps working like he is, I may be able to get a Kaveri-based PC by April. As to why Kaveri and not Vishera, because all the nice integrated new soundcards are on the new boards, general features, and Mantle. (I want to back Mantle.)

  Two of my buddies have had really bad runs with EVGA that's why I'm staying away from them.
  That and I really like MSI's design, from what I asked most people said to go with MSI.
  Warranty is 3 years so I should be set.
  My next build is going to use a AMD card, really like Sapphire's designs and hopefully by then they have a good $250~ price range card

  Yeah I definitely plan, my friend has some artic silver 5 or whatever it's called.
  I will however go after that CPU cooler now, also what case fans do you reccomend? Was looking at the Corsair AF due to the curved fans.

  Never had an issue with EVGA before and they're the main brand I trust with Nvidia cards, so... Also, don't rule out Powercolor or Asus cards on an AMD GPU.

  I'd say save money, as case fans don't do as much as dedicated cooling for components will, and the r200 is sufficient for any single GPU rig. Also, Artic Silver 5 is old, old, old. GC-Extreme cools a good bit better, and is worth the $10, in my opinion, at least. It not only cools better, but doesn't conduct electricity, is easier to apply, has no curing time, and lasts for years longer.

  So I did some research and saw that people were reporting of the 612 blocking their ram on their AMD3+ MoBos
  Do you have a problem with this?
  
  Also I'll def. get that thermal paste then assuming my MIR comes back soon.

  Any high-profile RAM like Corsair Vengeance will interfere with larger heatsinks, that's the tradeoff. Then again, any DDR3 RAM set under 2400mhz usually has that heatsink on them simply for looks, unlike the CPU. The Gskill sniper series -should- fit, but if you want to be safe, go with a set of Gskill AEGIS http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231740 or Ares http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231544 which are both low profile enough to where there is absolutely no risk of interference.

  Great, now I want Paper Sorcerer since it looks a lot better than what Might and Magic: Legacy is going to be.

  Also it's bretty solid.

  Wasn't paying attention to Steam for the past few days. It's out? Well, the developers said that they were essentially done with the game during Steam Early Access and it was just used to test bug fixes, so they didn't do any major changes to the system where the game could use some room for improvement from community feedback. I'll probably wait for a sale before buying it.

  But can it run windows 3.1 with minesweeper and paint at the same time?
