i'm interested in building a new PC soon (my very first one i'm pretty excited and scared at the same time )
i was wondering if the antec 300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129066 is the best case for my build. my build will consist of a Sapphire 4870 1gb ddr5, gigabyte am3 770ud3-p, amd phenom 2 550 BE, samsung f3 500gb hdd, antec earthwatts 650w(a couple questions bout this PSU) and of course.. 4gb DDR3 crucial ballistix tracer 1333mhz.
does the antec 300 have good air flow? will my parts be a little warmer then they would with the Raidmax Smilodon i was considering to buy? basically, it's either the 300 or the smilodon unless you guys can offer me a better case with the same price. uhm, will my parts fit in nicely with the 300 like the GPU wont be touching the HDD or something..
also i heard that having the PSU on the bottom was bad?? is this true?
and now about the PSU is the psu a little too much for what i want to use? ive heard people say they are able to run a 4890 with 450w if there is anything better i can buy for cheaper to run my build that you can link me to that would be great i just dont want anything under 500w since ill be upgrading in like 2-3 years O_O
oh man.. alot of questions, thank you to who ever answers
