Case: Antec 900 ll with 4 fans 3 120mm fans & a 200mm fan on the top inside,holds 6 HDD's. blue LEDS built in every fan including the power supply fan.And a clear side panel on the case so you can see whats under the hood :)
Color Scheme: black metal outside,blue LEDS inside. Power Supply: Antec True Power Blue 750W Motherboard: ASUS Intel H57 HDMI SATA 6GB's USB 3.0 ATX RAM: G.Skill 2GBx2 DDR3 DuelChannel Processor: Intel core i7 2.8GHz 8mb L3 Cache Quad-Core A friend who works at americlass pc helped me pick out the components,keep in mind he pick items that were worth the $$$ as there is a point of just senseless spending. Let me know what you suggest for a graphics card, or other suggestions. |

I think you should get an ATI Radeon HD 5850 or ATI Radeon HD 5870. In terms of brand for ATI, I prefer XFX first, and then Sapphire as second choice.

That sucks :/ My friend suggests this graphics card if I dont want to spend $400+ ASUS cucore Series 2DI/1GD5/ Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 crossfire x support Is this good or should I just pay the $400+ and get better? Im not getting the $1000 plus graphics cards,thats just ridiculous. But just one thats compatible with my above specs. |

Whatever gfx card you can afford that can do what you want it to do. Personally I prefer ATI but that isn't up to me to decided...
Man, what I should do is get a degree in electrical engineering, programming and the likes and start making my own video cards that way no 3rd or even 4th party can screw it up :D *registers at MIT* |
