some stuff I'll be buying from amazon since they have a better return policy than newegg and free shipping. the motherboard, case(do i want usb 3?, i like have side window), psu, heatsink, ram, are all items I'm not sure about(didnt put alot of research into). I'll probably get a second gtx 570 in a couple years or whenever I need it. I'd like to bring the price down closer to $1100. I'm at $1281 on the newegg total. theres maybe $50 to be saved just by getting some of the stuff on amazon. I could also save money on a different case too. I don't know if I need or want usb 3.0, if I can save $30+ on a case that doesn't have it, I'd probably rather save the money.
