Need to Update Case and Maybe Graphic Card

[vegettoxp]

Hello there Guys, long time no talk. How’s everyone doing? Well I am back and of course need your guy’s opinion. In July my new Rig will be One Year Old. (I Feel Really Happy). I have updated The System Ram from 4GB to 8GB and I have also put in the New Raptor 150GB HD and I am glad that this is my now Main HD. So total of 4 HD in my system and of course running Windows 7 Ultimate RC as my OS. This I have updated so far. Now I was planning to update couple of other things, so this is where you guys come in. I have couple of Question for you, so here they are:

1) My case right now is CM Stacker 830 Black and of course it’s Big. I am looking to replacing this case with something new. My Price range is below $250. I have been looking around and so far this is the only case that has caught my attention

Lian Li - PC-V1010 or PC-V1000Z or PC-7FW or PC-60FW

Your thoughts on these Case or if you have any other recommendations, please feel free to share. Thank you for your time.

2) Graphic card I have right now is 8800GT and I have no problem with at all. I was looking into up-dating this too. Is this a Good Time to Update or Wait? Also what would be your guy’s recommendations? Nvidia or ATI doesn’t matter. Price wise I am looking to send $200 or less! This is would be used for Windows 7 and Casual Gaming.

You’re Thoughts on this update and recommendations are always welcome. Thank you for your time.

P.S. Josh:welcome:

4890 hands down.

For case I would recommend the cooler master atcs 840, its pretty much the classier version of the haf 932 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119187, and 4890 is a great card, like already has been said.

Antec = no unless you like heavy steel and cheap plastic in one big ugly package.

I would really look at these cases, I personally think all of them are top notch (in no particular order):

-ATCS 840
-V1010
-Lian-Li PC-p50 (standard, not r version)
-PC7FW
-PC-P60

sorry thats like the same list you had :rofl: my top pick would be the lian-li v1010 :up:

GTX275 is to expensive, HD4890 stomps it at 50$ cheaper.

case wise, lian li PC-P50 hands down. if you like the look, its an amazing case -- completely tool-less installation.

:up:For $250, you can get the Sapphire Toxic which is in the GTX 285 performance range. The 275 is only an option if you're getting it for $189 or $199.

Take a look at this link

This guy is a member of xtreme systems and is making his own design for a case. Its a fantastic design. You may like to see if you can contact him to get a price.

Personally, I'd go the GTX295 but thats just me. I'm not much for ATI.

not too familiar with USD pricings

$250CAD gtx 275 was a killer deal in Canada :yepp:

a 4890 1gb and armor suit pc 50 would be an excellent choice

If you think a $250 CAD GTX 275 was a good deal, then I'm sure bricks will be shat when you see this: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=15180BD1744&vpn=HD489AZDFC&manufacture=XFX

In Canada try googling Canada PC's. I bought a graphics card from them once (I was born in Alberta but now live in New Orleans). They had good prices.

If you liked the Stacker then how about the Cosmos S ... and I agree on GTX275 !
