[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Doomonkey]

Would this be a decent computer build?

Processor: Intel i5 3570K @ 3.5 ghz (LGA 1155)
RAM: 32 GB @ ~1066 mhz
PSU: ~1000 watts (Gold, Silver or Bronze?)
GPU: Geforce GTX 670
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45
Case: A MSI or a Antec case?

32 gb wat. Go down to 8 or 16 and get faster RAM. Also, upgrade the processor with your extra RAM cash.

What in the forget

You don't need 32 gb of ram, especially if it's only 1066mhz
Get 8gb of 1600mhz, it will be just as worth it.
You don't need loving 1000 watts for a 670 and an i5
Cases don't really matter, it's up to you
And you might as well get a Z87 version motherboard instead of a Z77

BTW, I already have the RAM, not buying new RAM, and same with the CPU. And due to the scenario I'm in, I highly doubt I'll be able to upgrade either. I'll also look for a less powerful power supply and do a bit more motherboard research.

My rig sucks for the time being.

Dell Optiplex 330
Intel Core Duo 3.3 ghz
2 gigs of ram
stock motherboard
No graphics card

I'm saving up some money to invest in some larger ram sticks and a graphics card.  If any of you guys have any GPU suggestions my budget is around 100 to 130 dollars.  Not looking for anything super fancy, just a decent card.  Also I can't use any of these big GPUs that require their own power source.

EDIT: I found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121426 on ebay and I was wondering if any of you had any experience with it.

Is it a good idea to replace the H100i's default fans with Be Quiet!'s Silent Wings 2 120mm PWM fans? I've done some research to compare the fans, and they seem a little too closely matched, even if Silent Wings pushes more air, it says "16.2 dBA" and does not provide a range like XX-YY, which makes me suspicious.

I want to go with them because I also want a black themed build, but if these fans do more harm than good, then I'd have to opt out.

[ABlockOfCheese]

I think my brother got some of those fans for his build, and they seem to work fine.

This is 23 bucks over and I think it is pretty decent.

It's not really hard to assemble a computer. When I built mine it was like I was using high-tech lego pieces. Anyways, these three videos will help you as they helped me.
