New Build

[Premiumgoodale]

I plan on building this beast.

AMD Phenom II X4 965BE 3.4Ghz (same price as 955BE 3.2Ghz on newegg atm)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2 x @GB)
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB
WDC Black 1TB
Antec TP-750w PSU
Antec 300 case

Will all of this fit in the antec 300, and will I have superior air flow? I may spring for an antec 900 or even the Antec 900 Two, though, I have also heard great things about CM 690.

Yeah all will fit, and is this the standard 300, or the 300 with the two blue 120MM fans on the front.

If not I would recommend getting the 300 Illusion, since it comes with three 120mm fans and one 140MM fan.

Yeah, but LEDs? I would prefer if bugs did not start a community inside my warm machine while they worship the inviting blue lights. I would love to get the Antec 900 Two, since it goes along with my build philosophy (synonymous with the A-10 Warthog's): Build a small, simplistic, yet rugged machine around a big *** gun. In this case, the gun is the AMD Radeon HD 6970, which i hear is larger than previous cards. Do you think the inside of a 300 would have optimum or decent air flow? Or should I spring for the 900 2?

The standard 300 will need fans added to it, but once all the fans in, that thing has a lot of air flow, but with an 6970, you should just go with the 900. It will give you loads of expandability.

I went ahead and got the 900 Two V3

However, I had to RMA it because it came damaged... So, looks like i've got to wait another week.
