Like the interior design or the exterior (asking these questions mainly because it will probably influence if I go out and buy it or not.)

Might want to look at some pictures or some other sites with reviews on them.

Oh I plan to regardless, I don't buy things blindly. It's just nice to have a personal review from someone I can actually ask questions to.

the thing which bugged me the most is that the cooler master 212 is facing the wrong direction

lol that bugged me too.
It's the funky motherboard though.

Also, I'd clean out that dust if my friends didn't huff the last bit of my canned air.
I'm looking at you, Ninja.

hard to tell in this odd angle low light picture :/

Doesn't look half bad at night.

The wires you see to the right are the only wires that show in the PC, the rest are behind the panel

so i was looking at the WD2003FZEX, which is the newest-gen western digital black 2tb hdd which no one really buys or knows about. it has 40 more gb/s speeds (160gb/s total), from the WD2002FAEX, the most popular western digital 2tb which everyone knows and buys, which only has (120gb/s). anyways, i was looking around the internet for a good price, and found this on superbiiz.com

good price, 130 after applying the coupon code VETERANSDAY, while all the rest of the bigger sites price theirs at around 165

now, for some reason, you can ONLY access that link above through a search engine. only way. if you search through the website itself, it only shows this as one of their listings
http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=HD-W23FZEX
this is the same version for 20 bucks more, plus 5 dollar shipping. what the forget? i couldn't find the 130 version on their site anywhere besides searching through google. what is wrong here? someone please explain

Try for at least a GPU with 2gb of ram? and at least go for the 600 series of Nvidia GPUs..

Quick question about where to put my case's temperature sensor (for the digital readout on the front of the case), it's just a wire with a probe on the end. I previously had it in my CPU cooler's heatsink, and it reads at most 40 deg. C when gaming. Now that I've ordered this Corsair H55 CPU Cooler (on its way), I don't know where to place it. Would putting it on the backing plate of the motherboard be useful at all? What about somewhere on the radiator itself? Does the pump itself get just as hot?

1gb is enough, and you cannot sli a 500 series with a 600 series

I'm buying a new computer finally soon and was wondering if you could finish up this list to pristine perfection that all you guys are known for.
Also my budget is $800 please don't go over it.

I know i'm missing the graphics card, fans and maybe an heat sink? Please try to find a cheaper motherboard and SSD. I would also like to find a new case too, preferably a well built case (not plastic). That looks like the corsair obsidian (via glass window, simple front), cheaper if possible.
I'm not overclocking anytime soon so no extreme coolers and stuff.

I would like to be able to play games like Blockland on max/high with ss possibly, Minecraft on normal & fancy and SimCity on medium/high (seems resource heavy right?) all at 30 fps. No more over 350 on the gpu please since 350 sounds reasonable for a modern gpu right?

oh man I feel p. bad at making you guys find parts for me.
