your motherboard wont fit in the case,get a 4x8gb not 4 8gb dimms that way the timings match. otherwise its good.and even for business you dont need that much ram. also an i7 is a bit much for gaming you could get a i5 and it would be fine. also maybe less ssd and a large hdd.

Besides the case and storage it looks good, get a smaller ssd (like 250 gigs) which should be enough for programs, and I doubt you will actually use that much ram. And I would recommend an i-5 3570k so you can overclock well without buying an i-7.

 

 

 

Good luck,

It should not matter which you choose as long as you check the timings on the dimms. the other commenter might know something I don't but from my knowledge it should be fine either way.

And as for the case the reason i didn't like it is because it doesn't look like a work case if that is were you would use it. I really love the 800 or 900 d's from corsair. you can put just about anything in them and they will be compatible with alot of boards and cards for a long time.

the stryker doesnt support E-atx boards thats why.
