I also need a fan so can anyone recommend me some fans to install in the Antec 300 Illusion Case for an SLI Build. My Budget is $800 I plan to buy most of the parts through Newegg. Thanks guys, any additional advice would be appreciated.

For the GPU, don't waste your money on the SuperClocked version; get this one instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130566&cm_re=evga_gtx_460_1gb-_-14-130-566-_-Product

It has a lifetime warranty (which basically says don't physically break the PCB and you're good), and overclocking is simple: download MSI Afterburner, and just move the sliders

Thanks for you reply guys. Do I need a fan for this pc. I think I do can anyone recommend a cheap one.

Another Question. Should I wait till Nov. for any pc deals or do you guys think the prices are going to stay the same

 

[boiler1990]

Prices usually drop around the holidays, and you may find some decent sales that save you $10 at worst.

The Antec 300 Illusion comes with 4 case fans (out of 5 total spots), so you're good to go in terms of fans. If you meant CPU cooler, the CPU comes with a stock cooler, which should be fine until you really start pushing the system and overclocking.
