Need help with new parts for new system

[AdamJ]

I currently have an E6400 and I am using it until the new intel chips come out and the same with my RAM. Im trying to make this sorta future proof. I really do not plan to OC and if I do its only going to be to 2.4 or 2.6. So I do not need any aftermarket cooling

Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128048 Trying to keep it future proof in a way. I want the availablity to upgrade to DDR3 in the future when it starts to be the standard or w/e word im looking for.
PSU - http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817153039 Is this a good PSU? Im looking for a good modular PSU thats not much more than $150
VC - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082 Acquired in step up so im stuck with it
RAM - http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=85016-13 Currently have 2 of those so yea(2gigs total). If I have extra money left over then Ill probally get new RAM
Case - NEED HELP. Im looking for a good, but not so expensive FULL tower. I like a lot of room to work with and need my 8800 to fit nicely. If there is a mid tower like that than ok. Try and keep it under $150

So yea, thats about it. Everything else im keeping, or so I think

Thanks


EDIT: Now that I think about it, do you think ddr2 will last me maybe 1.5-2 years? If so, im going to probally want a mobo with SLi and just ddr2(providing the mobo has SLi running at x16/x16 and not x16/x4/1

PSU: That PSU is good. I'm using it - albeit without much of a load on it. But it's pretty quiet and has some great specs.

Case: Take a look at some of these cases. I personally like the TT Armor Series, but I hear good things about the Cooler Master Stacker.lhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...opertyCodeValue=548:8289&bop=And&Order=PRICED

The PSU is good. For a cheap and nice case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119068 or if you want a window http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119077

Good luck.

The CM Stacker looks like its a nice good case. Thanks

As much as id like a mid tower, I really cannot get one. I have very big hands and when im trying to work with my current one, its so hard for me to do so.

Yeah the stacker looks nice if money isn't a problem go for it. The Centurion is by no means small in the inside. I too have large hands. Best of luck either way.

The Stacker RC-832 which I have is $199 after MIR until 7/19. I bought it for $260 which I thought was worth every penny, $199 is a steal. I know it's a little out of your price range but it's worth considering.

If the Centurion 5 is not small inside then Ill probably wind up getting that. Its cheap and many people have told me its an excellent case. What about my RAM and mobo? Should I get new RAM? Are the DDR3 slots worth it at this time? How long until DDR3 becomes the standard?

 

[williamtheface]

The Centurion is a excellent case for the price and I had no problems with my big hands. Your ram looks fine but I'm no expert but I would stick with that board you've selected on the count it's more future proof.

I've used some CoolerMaster Elite cases which are even cheaper. My hands aren't small, and one of them is very uncoordinated, but I had no difficulty and no cuts. The Centurions look similar; they cost a little more so maybe they're even better.

Any one have an idea for an SLi mobo wth the P35 chipset? Dont want a crappy one. If I have enough cash left over I might throw in another 8800

P35's won't support SLI, currently the best SLI boards are 680i. The X38 boards are supposed to support it when they come out.
