You could also look at the CM 590, another great case in that spectrum of price. And the 300 is in that same price range. I think its 50$ right now.

oh that cm590 is freakin schweet. Ill have to find it somewhere with free shipping.

wait the psu goes on the bottom? hrm

That's a nice perk about the 590 and the 300, the PSU on the bottom is a favorite feature of both cases for me. And I don't order a case without that.

Currently Newegg has it for 50$ here

And I know from ordering whole builds in one lump that if you buy all your parts at the same time that it doesn't cost much to ship.

The PS on bottom is a good thing! It keeps the PS cooler.

Isn't the 790GX chipset better than the 790FX when it comes to Crossfire ? At least that's what I read.

No the 790GX chipset is more a stripped down version of the 790FX.

The 790GX is designed for more mainstream 2, maybe 3 way crossfireX depending on the board.

While the the 790FX is designed on the AMD Spider Platoform design.
4 way crossfire, 4core CPU (Phenom) 4 memory slots. And it can do 4x4gb of DDR2 RAM.

If money aint an issue, I'd go with the other 790FX board with the SB750 like this one. It'll overclock the current Phenoms a lot better than the old SB600 790FX board you picked.
