Upgrading from an antec TX1050B i've got my eyes set on the CM Sniper.. But i need to be absolutely sure before zeroing in as it carries a significant price tag (almost 220 USD here in india.. +20 USD for the dragon version..).. Is there a better option available?? Also here, we've got only antec, cooler master and thermaltake.. i love the sniper looks but being an enthusiast i need something close to perfect.. I currently own a single 4870 and i would never be going in for a dual card configuration( personally, i don't think they are worth..).. My prime focus is on looks(+1) and build quality..

Also, i've been owning a PSU (Antec TP 550W V2.0) for 5 years now.. Previously had a XFX 7800GTX card.. Is it time to change?? I own a C2D E6750 overclocked to 3.2GHz on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3R and two seagate 7200.12 1GB HDD's in raid 0.. Rest if required is a CM cpu cooler, a fan controller, DVD writer.. Planning to get a C2Q 9550 soon.. Would a corsair HX750 be an overkill?? I've loved it in the reviews..

I think so, but that's because I'm using the 620HX's to power my rig's. Take a look at my configs to see if your setup is comparable.

If you'll never use 2 video cards, then HX520 is plenty.

+1 what the animal said. A single high quality 500 -550 watt Corsair power supply can easily power any single video card made.

The CoolerMaster Storm Sniper is a full tower case. If price is an issue, then you may want to consider the CoolerMaster 690:
