I did some math, a d0 from Antares would be the best.

Technically, its 10 dollars more, I am losing a combo deal and the free shipping, but I got another gtx 260 core 216 for $5 more with the combo deal savings and a rebate compared to the rebate on the EVGA, and I don't feel like playing slots with the Newegg c0s and d0s.

Which has better airflow, the CM 690 or the Antec 300?

With all the fan slots:

7 120mm and 1 80mm on the CM 690

5 120mm and 1 140mm on the Antec 300

edit: This drives prices up only 6 dollah

edit again:

http://www.buy.com/prod/antec-three-...207906549.html

Shipping for the 300 on Newegg is $15, Buy.com has free shipping.

55+15 = 70 dollars on newegg, Buy.com is $58+$9 in Fans is $67 versus $70+$17 in Fans for 77 dollars, that is a 10 dollar difference...

edit: CM is also bigger and has more features. I think Ill take it over the 300.

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Pu...umber=11834566

Switch the i7 for the one from Antares Digital, and that is the build so far.

OCZ StealthXStream 600w only $40 after rebate
http://microcenter.com/single_produc...uct_id=0260161

Like I said before, unless you are running 1920x1200 or bigger the Sli wouldn't see much improvement. The 600w will be enough to power the system, you could maybe even bump up the GPU to a 275 or 4890.

I'l say the same thing to you I say to anybody who tries putting the 80mm fan behind the cpu. It didn't lower my temps at all, at either idle or load. It was more a pain in the ass than anything else.

Recieved mobo, free flash drive, free stalker clear sky, OCZ freeze (Jeez, the syringe is tiny lol), mugen 2, and my RAM.

Everything except my Mugen 2 was in perfect condition. My Mugen 2 has one bent fin corner
