Ok, so now that i have my new PC, i' m going to be building another over the next 6 months or so ... (because i' ll be buying a 45nm Intel [Yorkfield???] processor and a GeForce 9) ... but it' s been years since i' ve built a computer and i' ve not exactly been following the PC scene, i' m going to need some advice.

I' m not putting a budget on this project, i simply want the best performance possible without going SLI.

So the list of required components would be...

Case
Mainboard
Processor
Ram
Graphics card
HDD
Optical drive' s
Powersupply
Monitor
Mouse & keyboard

...right?

I' ve been looking at cases, and unless somebody can recommend something better, i' ll be deciding between the...


Raidmax RX9




Thermaltake Xaser VI




Raidmax Sagitta 2




Raidmax Aztec




NZXT Lexa Blackline




...and i know the Thermaltake and NZXT case' s have great build quality, but i don' t know about the Raidmax ones. What do you guys think?

On top of the case, i need recommendation on everything but the graphics card and processor (which won' t be out until next year)

Thanks guys
