Uhh. Midtower if you want, but hey - why have space when you upgrade? =)

Coolmaster PSU's just dont do it for me, but if you have good experiences...your call. Drop the Western Digital and go with either Samsung or Seagate man. WD is **** for quality aside from Raptors.


If your going CAD, why not buy a professional GPU for such activity?

He means Canadian Dollars. I've had more HD crash with Samsung than WD but I stay away from both when I can and go with Seagate.

Q6600 $285
Asus P5K-E (If no SLI) $160
Corsair XMS 2Gb 6400 $80 (30 MIR)
Corsair 620HX PSU $118 (30 MIR)
XFX 8800 GTX Extreme $530 (40 MIR) (600 Core, 1900 Mem)
Coolermaster Cosmos $170
Seagate 500Gb $115
LG DVD Burner $35
Tot: approx $1590 after MIR

This is a bit more but not by much and you get a great card with it. I'd go this way but up to you.
