Alright so first off thank you to anyone who helps me in my little endeavor.


This is what I have in my current system:



CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory



Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive



Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit



AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor



ASUS M4A77TD ATX AMD Motherboard



RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W Modular LED Power Supply



GTX 470 Super Clocked graphics card ( http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=012-P3-1472-AR&family=GeForce%20400%20Series%20Family&sw= )



Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 PCI Express


Now what I plan to purchase in the very near future is a GTX 480 Super Clocked graphics card ( http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=015-P3-1482-AR&family=GeForce%20400%20Series%20Family&sw=%29and )and a Gelid Icy Vision VGA Video Card Cooler for it.

Now what kind of Full tower case would you recommend for holding all this and what kind of power supply would I need to purchase to run all this ? The two graphics cards and all the fans ? I was thinking something along the lines of something in at least the 1000w.

I recommend getting another 470 as opposed to getting a 480 if you intend putting them together in an SLI configuration, which would then underclock the 480 to perform equally with the 470.
