Hey guys,

Looking at buying a new PC for gaming and heavy duty photo manipulation. Specs;
CPU: Intel i7 920
Graphics: Giga GTX 275
MoBo: Giga GA-EX58
Ram: Kingston ddr3 6Gb 3x2gb
Case:...
Now here is where the problem was. I'm not sure what case I need. I was looking at the CM 690 which was supposedly quite good. However I'm wondering if i should go for a Antec Nine-Hundred two and get PSU sepparately. What are your views? Also are all the other specs reasonable?

so something like that for the PSU?
Corsair HX-620 620W ATX

Can I afford to go down to 550W?

I have a new system too, similar build which is quite unstable...I haven't managed to get to the bottom of the problem but it seems likely that it is the PSU so my advice would be to spend a bit more on the PSU and definitely buy it separately.

I would go for an 650W one but others in here may have better knowledge
