I've been really busy with work (still training until next month, so pretty much have to study day in, day out).
All my stuff has come in now, except my cpu cooler, noctua nh-u12p (great minds do think alike huh pcgeek? 8^)) and my NZXT Sentry LX fan controller. My first choice for cpu coolers was the cooler master v8, but it wasn't available (in stock), in addition to the lga1366 bracket not being available [for it] yet as well.
I ended up going with the cosmos s for the case (I can't believe I paid a bit over 1000 riyals for the shipping!!!!!!). It was very, very close between the cosmos s and the antec 1200, but in the end, the cosmos s won. From reviews I read (in particular, reviews from the sites where the same person reviewed both cases, not different sites/reviewers), the cosmos s usually came out on top. That and it's an e-atx case (some future proofing for me) and is also much better designed for water cooling (which I plan on doing in the future), aluminum (heat dissipation) opposed to steel, 200mm fan placed in a much better position (not blocked by other components), etc, etc.
Anyways, I'll post some pics later, but just really busy right now. Thanks to those who provided some advice!
Happy New Year everyone!
