So, thanks to the friendly people here at Tom's i've decided that the best cpu upgrade for my money will be the 3930k (coming from first gen i7). This is for maximum thread and speed, for 3d graphic renderings.
Anyways, i'm already pushing $900 for my new mobo and CPU. The next question is cooling, since i plan to be OCing my new upgrades.
As i've learned over the past hour or so of research, i can either cool via push/pull system (most simple and risk free) or a reservoir (complex, more room for error and pretty)
So, i think, because its more about performance than it is enthusiast i will be using a push/pull (unless someone can shed more light for me). With this said, i'm wondering if anyone can point me in a direction for a reliable case to achieve this.
My budget is limited, but i want at least a reputable brand. So, a cheap name brand case is what i need help finding. I dont have a lot of hardware (1 gpu, 1 hd, etc) and can take some fans from my current case and put them in the new case (i think they're all 120mm).
I would also like to point out my PSU is not modular and so cable management is highly desired!!!
This is looking like a wall of text, so i'll end it here. Thanks a lot guys.
