Alternate and Conrad are big German electronics shops on the web (similar to Newegg in the US). They usually have better prices than the locals and a HUGE selection. I mentioned those since I figured you were in Germany.

ALTERNATE. Hardware - Software - Entertainment

Conrad - Online Shop für Technik, Elektronik und innovative Ideen

Oh, thats just something i didn't get rid of since FIFA World Cup.
I'm actually brazillian and live in brazil, but i'm also half german :P

Hmm, sorry, but I do not have a Brazilian site for you. :)

Hi AlexRD - My case came from Alienware (I bought their base Aurora package) and option optimized it for the water cooled overclocked 980X - Then later added my SSDs, Ext Drive, Kbd, Mouse , Display and more Overclocking. :):):)

They have at least 3 different Desktop cases. The Alienware FX LED lighting is a nice touch.

Ouch, now that would be too expensive :P

I wish alienware wasn't so overpriced.

Hi AlexRD - Theres a lot of nice cases out there - I havent priced these but take a look at the following sites for nice cases

NZXT :: Unique. Unprecendented. Inspired - Phantom Product Detail

Hands-on with Corsair's new Graphite 600T case | bit-tech.net

Antec LanBoy Air - ExtremeTech

Youll find a good one :):):)

The lower, the better. Unfortunately it increases as the timings get shorter. 4 is a good value. CAS latency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't like G Skill, i like OCZ and Corsair.

I've been very happy with my G.Skill RAM. Used it for 3 of my last builds. All been solid. Oh year, OCZ is getting out the RAM market altogether to focus on SSD's. So, I would focus on Corsair in your search.

If you want 2000Mhz or faster and you want at least 4GB DDR3 chips..you are looking at a CAS Latency of 9. Those are the only options I can find at NewEgg.

I suppose it does come down to preference, but in regards to G-Skill memory, all of them I have purchaces have been just fine.
As well as good customer support.

Personally, I really like them and it's now one of the first brands I look for, just due to past experiences with them.

Yeah, when I built my first machine with them, I took a chance. But they were solid sticks. On my latest build, they offered the best timings on my DDR2-800 (4-4-4-12)...so I went with them. They have been excellent. I bought these: Newegg.com - G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
