So I'm making my first build, I want a rating and input. System will be used for gaming. Ideally I want to be able to run Mirror's Edge and FEAR 2 PO at relatively high settings. Yes, I know the sys req's aren't out yet.
Here are the specs of the system:
CPU: E8500
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036
Mobo: EVGA 780i FTW
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188027
GPU: 260GTX-216 core or 280GTX

or

RAM: Mushkin DDR2-1066 4GB (2x2GB)

HDD: 150 GB WD Velociraptor and 500 GB WD Caviar

Monitor: Hanns G
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254026&Tpk=Hanns%20G%2028
I already have the monitor so that is a definite 100%. The rest I have yet to buy. I did have a question about it, will it all fit in the Antec 900 or NZXT Tempest (any reccs?) and if not what's a good Full ATX tower (i.e. good air flow) that I can get for around 100 to 120-ish (Max)? And is it worth the extra 100~ish bucks to go for the 280GTX over the 260GTX-216 core?
Thanks in advance ^_^
