I am building a new system and I have selected everything but the case & PSU.
What about this case? GIGABYTE GZ-FA1CA-ASB Black 1.0 mm Aluminum body ATX Full Tower Computer Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811233013 with is: GIGABYTE GH-WIU02 3D Galaxy II Liquid Cooling http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835128015 I do not really need the liquid coolong but it looks pretty sweet! Read this one customer review: Pros: Ok this is the Best Case and i will tell you why i have 1 Striker Extreme, 1 Intel Core 2 Extreme, 2 EVGA GeForce 8800GTX, 4 GeIL 4GB 2x2GB 240-Pin, 1 Western Digital 500GB, 1 DVD_BURN PLEXTOR, 1 PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW (1000w), and to top it off I have 1 GIGABYTE 3D Galaxy II Liquid Cooling. Cons: BUT WHAT Other Thoughts: I Still Have A LOT OF ROOM!!! and that is why Its the best no question asked. |

In my opinion (which may not be held by many), but the case is for the most part up to personal preference. Remember, you'll have to look at it everytime you use your computer. Get one with enough room for what you need, but get one you like too.

If you like your new components... don't get the junk liquid cooling. It is underpowered and just garabage. Go with highend air. The case is nice though but I like this one better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811233002

what kind of wattage are you looking for? Surprisingly(note the sarcasm), Chozart is right, Apevia sucks.
FSP also makes some great PSU's for a really good price. If you are willing to lose the lights and bling you seem to admire, check out the FAQ DuckieHo submitted. there are so many options out there right now, but it should sum up the best choice for you. Regarding the Gigabyte water cooling, for 30 bucks more you can makke a bad-a$$ Danger Den custom kit and see three times the cooling potential. Good luck with your buid.![]()
