Case Suggestions

[arimala]

Hello,

I'm hoping to get a new system put together soon.. but I'm having trouble working out what case to use. Here is my plan for the system -

CPU: Intel Core i7 920
MB: Asus P6T
RAM: 6GB Corsair PC-10600
GPU: GeForce GTX275
HD: Western Digital 500GB Caviar Black
OD: Samsung SH-S223B
PSU: Corsair 750TX
CPU Cooler: Xigmatek S1283 (Dark Knight)

(If you have any feedback on the system itself, I'd appreciate your thoughts.)

Additionally, would that PSU be fine if I wanted to add another GPU in the future? (And could I get away with a 650w even?)

Sorry, back to the topic of cases! I've had a bit of browse for cases.. I like the look of the Cooler Master CM 690.. but I'm wondering if it's a bit outdated? I'd probably consider the HAF 922 more.. but I don't like the way it looks. I'm not too fond of the look of the Antec cases either. But if it comes down to it, I may have to forgo looks and go for a case that suits what I plan to put in it.

Cheers,
Sara.

I would vote for the HAF 922...It is a very good case...But the CM 690 is solid option if you are not interested in the side-window...
Other options - NZXT Tempest - If you want to break away from the standard case options, then this is a very good option...

As for your PC feedback,
1. Dont get the 500GB WD Black...they are old gen. Get the 640GB/ 1TB/ 2TB ones...they are newer...
2. GTX 275 ?
3. Your PSU has more than enough power to run SLI/ Crossfire config.

Finally I would like to ask your what will the PC be used for ? If it is for gaming, you should check out the i7 860 as the P55 platform would save you money and you can invest in better graphic cards( HD 58xx series)

I personally prefer Antec cases, such as the 900, 902, and 1200.

I also like the Antec 900 case. Great case for cooling. Downside is that cable management is relatively poor - unless you cut a couple more holes in the motherboard tray. And you really should not need to do that.
