I know cases are subjective...
But you may want to think about the 300 instead of the 1200...
Pop a few $8 Blue LED fans in there, and you still save $100 bucks
I put these in my Antec 900, they are quiet, push alot of air, and are brighter and better looking than ANY other fan I've used
The case design is similar, and Airflow isnt going to be an issue...

As for the memory, technically thats the cheapest you can get after rebate for 1066...

Save almost another $100 by getting the Home premium version of Vista 64Bit

Shave another $40 by getting the artic 7 Freezer as was stated earlier

Thats nearly a $300 savings...
Sell that 7xxx series card for a reasonable price and then you can easily afford a top tier gaming card...
Youll be happier with the performance, and you won't have really sacrificed anything to get it,,,

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
I was going for the Antect 1300 because it has space for SLI, and the PSU that you noted there, I don't think its a good idea to go with it...I may end up going SLI and 650 may not be enough for me.
Also in the PSU I am looking for the modular option...so I don't have to worry about extra wires hanging out.
I was thinking about Newegg.com - ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ800 800W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Patent Piperock Modular Power Supply - Power Supplies but I may go with something different..

Also I am looking for a good DVD/CD drive (burner would be nice) and a good hard drive that is fast for gaming and multitasking and its not slow.

Getting back to the case, I can save nearly another 80$ if I were to go with the antec 900, but I am still unsure if that's going to have enough space for SLI (those massive 8800's are getting bigger by the years.
