Second to spending money on as much RAM as a mobo is capable of holding, a good
quality PSU is important (I think) others may disagree.

Fans? Good ones, but I haven't shopped for fans in a while. This case I have now
came with 4 which is really overkill for my usage.

I'm considering ditching it for something quieter as just the air movement is
too noisy but it was "cool" when I bought it; now I think it's stupid as all
those fans suck in a lot of crap into the case.
