It depends. Antec makes great cases. The Antec 300, 900, and 1200 are some of their best models. Cooler Master has some great models as well. The Cooler Master 690 is arguably one of the best mid-sized, mid budget cases available. Other brands like Lian Li make great cases as well.

the only improvements they could make on the antec 1200 is that they fill it with liquid helium... and a seperate area for the psu and perhaps a better way of removing the air filters to clean them

Now for graphics card 5770 looks sturdy but someone mentioned a sapphire card? Can someone shoot me the link?

Well the Sapphire card was on Newegg for like $150 or something like that but it sold out really fast. The card that Deviance linked you would be perfect for that price range.

i would definately get a corsair, if u can spend a little more try for a 750 that way later u will be able to get xfire and a more demanding cpu without upgrading ur psu, if u can spend that much
