Have no idea for a case, i need something cool enough to overclock 2 ghz ed 7970s

make any improvements where you can please, all of my friends are to stupid, and or ignorant when it comes to computers so i need all the help i can get

Also i need some ideas on a mouse and keyboard

my budget is 2400-2500$ so i still have alot of room for improvements

Unless you are gaming on triple monitors, you dont need to crossfire 7970's They can run everything on max setting at high resolutions.
