I'd just like to know if everything is compatible.

Still looking for a good case (but not too expensive) that will provide a good fan setup, 9800s run hot.

Also, should I go Quadcore or dual. I hear dual is optimum for gaming atm, but quad is being utilized more and more. (Crysis)


Any tech gurus out there willing to help me out, thanks in advance.


Hmmmm, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 819115036.

That would probably be a better choice than the Quad, huh?

Thanks in advance,

3. the best gaming case out there for a reasonable price is the Antec 900 (great cooling) check it out at newegg

-everything looks great on your setup, what cooler are you looking at for your cpu? i recommend Zalman or Arctic Cooler i have used both and love em. Artic Cooling especially
