Thanks biggrin.gif

lol you just started your thread so give it some time before bumping it. im sure a lot of people are willing to help you. what is your budget for a case? corsair and cooler master have a good line up of full tower cases

here's a list of towers from newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%20600006304&IsNodeId=1&name=ATX%20Full%20Tower

i think my mind is pretty set on the 650d, i was looking at the nzxt switch 810 but it is such a ugly case tongue.gif i was also looking at the phantom but iv heard to many bad things about it, to bad i guess it looked soooooo cool lol rolleyes.gif but if you guys can convince me on another case im opean ears biggrin.gif
here are my specs
motherboard: asus p8z68 deluxe/gen3 or asus p8z68 pro/gen3 idk witch one to get....
cpu: i7 2700k
gpu: gtx 680 when it comes out, or 7970 tongue.gif
psu: im still looking for a good power suply it needs to be able to handle two 680s, but idk how much watts there going to need
ssd: Samsung 830 series 120gb
hd: 1tb hd idk witch hd i want yet
ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM

I would worry more about the volts that 2 680s needs from psu. 195w TDP isnt that high.
