Forum Systems : New Build [Solved] Which case

I really need help deciding. Ok so i either have enough money left over for a cooler master haf blue (has to be blue because of combo deals) with a phenom 2 x4 955 be with a msi 870 chipset atx motherboard, or a antec 900 2 with a phenom 2 x6 1050t and a 890 chipset msi micro atx crossfire motherboard. All though I know getting the antec 900 2 and hexacore is the obvious choice, i just fell in love with the haf. Also I am plannin gon putting a 5870 in the case. If anyone can help choose i greatly apreciate it.

What is the purpose of this computer? Is it only for gaming, or is it for production/workstation?

If gaming, then go with the HAF 922 and the x4 (you don't need 6 cores for a gaming comp). Otherwise, the other combo may be better for you.

------------------------------ i7-930 @ 3.8, Hyper 212 Push/Pull config; Gigabyte x58a-ud3r; 3x2GB G.Skill Pi; ASUS EAH5970 (no OC quite yet); OCZ Vertex 60gb Boot Disk; 7200.12 500gb; HAF 922; Corsair 850tx; 2x Asus 24" 2ms HDMI widescreens; Logitech G15 keyboard; Sidewinder X8

it is mostly for gaming so the quad core would actually be better?

Well, the quad core wouldn't necessarily be "better" for games- it may depend on the game, and how it utilizes the cores (if at all), and the speed of the respective chips.

You don't need more than a quad core for gaming.

It would be like using a Semi Truck to haul a carton of eggs. I mean, you could do it, but you would get the same results by using a car.

Solid motherboard and solid CPU, which will fit nicely in the Antec 902.
