~$1000 SB Build

I decided to get an EVGA GTX 570 (support is always going to be meh with any company, I'm not really worried about it). Anyone know if the reference cooler is quieter or cooler than the HD version? The HD version also has Display Port...hmm...

That sounds really bad, but is it something I should be concerned about? Are any other companies better? It seems all companies tend to have pretty bad customer service...It's still a lifetime warranty, too, which although they could waste time and effort, the warranty wouldn't run out like it...

I can't find much about EVGA's "refurb treadmill." Any links or examples? What I'm thinking of is your replacement doesn't work, then the next doesn't work, etc. Is that it?

Which EVGA GTX 570?

EVGA has both the reference design (external exhaust) and their newer HD version (blows into case). Anyone know which one is actually quieter? (in practice, not in theory)

The second thing on my usage list, Dolphin (GC/Wii emulator), is RAM read/write limited when turning on a setting that makes certain things look correct. Quite a few games need this when emulating. In almost everything else, I know it doesn't make much difference. I consider an extra frame or...

That Galaxy GPU is only better because of the MIR that'd take many weeks before I'd ever get the money back (if at all, knowing MIRs). 2 year warranty + $40 MIR vs lifetime warranty with EVGA's great support (so I've heard at least) is something I'd have to consider... As for that RAM, I...

I don't think I'm ready to jump onto the SSD bandwagon quite yet. Any case suggestions? If I choose a LianLi Lancool today, that's 20% off, but I've kind of neglected doing much research on cases...

[This is an edited post from somewhere else I asked for advice.] I'm putting together a computer for me and an identical computer for someone else (though the second one won't be built for a few weeks at least). I know the first build will be a bit cheaper than the second one probably will. I...
