It's not that the case is "over the top", the Define S is just better. $130 would get you an Enthoo Pro which is still wiser than that Rosewill case, it's ugly anyway. You can easily add case fans to any case. Buying a case because of the included fans is ridiculous. Cheap shit cases come with 3/4 cheap shit fans sometimes, doesn't mean they're worth buying. Um, case fans have nothing to do with CPU cooler. Having more case fans doesn't mean you won't need a CPU cooler. You're still going to need a decent cooler if you're overclocking. Since you'll be editing/rendering/recording, the Xeon is going to be better than the i5, but if you're overclocking, grab the i7. If you're not overclocking, do not waste the money. The Phanteks cooler I suggested will be a great choice regardless of what CPU you do with and whether you're overclocking or not. Add another 8GB RAM in the future then, it's the easiest and cheapest thing to add to a rig so it shouldn't be a worry, especially since 8GB RAM is still more than fine, the CPU will make more of a difference than the extra RAM would. Even if you do go with the extra RAM, don't waste $40-$60 on it, that's just stupid.

16gb is pointless you only need 8 really if you were editing or modelling yeah 16gb would be great but gaming you only need 8gb
