    The original link you posted doesn't seem to work.  I would however strongly urge you to get a better case than that "ultra" one you had - They are very low quality so will feel cheap, be loud and rattly and difficult to build in.  A 120mm fan shouldn't cost too much more than an 80mm one, if this is happening then you are looking at really low end fans that will likely be very loud and low quality.

    Have you looked at the parts list I posted?  It worked out $4 cheaper and was significantly better.
    yes ive look ty. but heres the case i want http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ultra-case-u1241570 . if link dont work
    heres model "Ultra XBlaster V2 U12-41570" im trying to save as much money as i can. im a noob builder so im paying 50 USD for a store to build it.

    That will take 80mm fans then but just get 120mm ones, they don't cost much more and should be quieter.  But as I've said before - That is a very cheap and nasty case - You get what you pay for.

    Seriously think about building it yourself - You won't learn unless you do it.  For a build like this especially, it will be very simple to put together and there are plenty of guides on the internet as well as this forum/chat to help you if you get stuck.

    If you are intent on getting that cheap case, at least look at the other changes I made as they will vastly improve the performance of the system.

      The only way I can think of shocking yourself enough to die is by opening the PSU, plugging it in and then touching stuff and the screws aren't that tiny.  See if this "certified professional" has other PC builds they have done for you to look at - I've seen a lot of "certified professionals" build PCs and they have been terrible.

      What is the final parts list you are going to order?

        I really hope that's a joke - I wouldn't trust Geek Squad to fix any of my machines, let alone build one!

        They use the "fog" test for their techs...
        They blow on a mirror...if it fogs up then their Techs.

          Diagnosing and fixing a laptop is easy for them - All they do is work with a flowchart and follow a strict process.  I'm sure they can build a PC and it will work, but I'd be surprised if they put a lot of effort in to making it neat and tidy inside and testing everything properly.

          Any luck with a final list of parts?

              can you put a different ram type in a mobo board? example, can i put a 1600 or 1866 ddr3 in a 1333/1066 ddr3 mobo? and how to keep the higher numbers?

              Yes, it will just run at a lower speed.  But if you are looking at boards that only run at 1333/1066 then you should rethink that board, it's clearly old technology.

                Avoid MSI motherboards along with ASRock - Stick to Gigabyte or ASUS.  MSI and ASRock are budget brands.
