Hi. I am buying a buttload of new parts for my computer, like pretty much everything.
Here's what I'm getting:
1. CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Dual Core Processor LGA775 3.0GHZ Wolfdale 1333FSB 6MB
2. MOBO - ASUS P5K/EPU Intel P35 Socket 775 Mainboard, 4xDDR2-1200/1066/800/667 2xPCI-Ex16 Crossfire, 2xPCI-Ex1, 2xPCI, 2xEIDE, 4xSATA300 RAID, 8Ch Audio, Gigabit LAN, 12xUSB2.0, 2x1394a Firewire, 1600FSB, ATX
3. RAM - Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB 2X1GB PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel Memory Kit
6. VIDEO - 2 EAH4850s
7. CARD FANS - Thermaltake A2426 PCi-Ex16 Slot Blue LED Cooler 80mm 2200RPM 22CFM 21DBA fan
8. And if I need it: POWER - Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750w ATX Power Supply - SLi-ready
9. CASE: - Antec Gamer 300 ATX Mid Tower Case
I have been debating whether or not my rig is going to need a new case, and I think it does. My current case has only one 8 inch fan in the back, and suction sort of thing in the front, so basically, two fans.
It's made by Dell (ew) and I don't think it's made for what I plan to do with my new setup: intense gaming. Like, games out the butt 24/7. COD4, BF2, Crysis, others...
Anyways, my question is: should I get the Antec Gamer 300 ATX Mid Tower Case? I think that with it's 4 fans and greater overall space and airflow, it will perform better. Especially with two of those 4850 cards in there, heating up a storm at 78C idle
