Increasing your post count, I see? I applaud you, sHmily.

Or if you want a quiet case, go for the Bitfenix Shinobi, which runs relatively quiet and has a clean design. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=60584&promoid=1295

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=75044&promoid=1295 Fractal Design R4 Clean design, arguable the quietest case on the market (beats the H2) It's 90 dollars and comes in I think 3 colors. The grey and white variants are more expensive, and harder to find.

If it's not too late, here's the link for the XFX. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59615

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=60584&promoid=1295 Bitfenix Shinobi Clean design, and runs relatively quiet. It's not as expensive as the other options, and you can use that money on other parts of the build. Note: This DOES have 2 USB 3.0 ports, but they aren't shown in the picture. The 2...

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59615 XFX Core 550W, 80+ Bronze Certified, AND made by Seasonic (arguably the BEST power supply maker). Probably the best PSU for the ~$50-60 range.

Eh. I guess it could be considered 2nd tier. This guy above me knows what he's talking about more than I do XD If you're tight on cash, take his advice. A Seasonic made XFX PSU 550W can be found for ~$55 at NCIX US. Minimum for a GTX 570 is 550W, and that's taking into account all of the...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&name=Computer-Cases Cooler Master HAF 912 Won an award for Best Chassis 2011! Some may dislike the looks, but if looks don't matter, it's the way to go. It's got really, really good airflow. It's a bit over budget. If you MUST...

The Seasonic will last longer than the CX 600, and that 80W difference is negligible. Go for a Seasonic PSU. If you really want to go Corsair, go with one Seasonic made, it'll last much longer than the CX600. These are Seasonic made Corsair PSU's You can go with the HX650 (650W, 80+ Gold...

It says on the website that you need a 400W PSU for the Radeon 6450, but since it's such a low end, and low profile card, I was wondering if it would run okay on a 300W OEM HP PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125431 Also, would this card need to be plugged into...

He doesn't want to spend that much money on something that he'll throw out/pass down in a few months... He wants to get as much out of the system as he can until Haswell comes out, apparently. Are the upgrades okay, and will RAM that's twice as fast make a difference? Is the CPU an upgrade...

Please answer the questions I asked. He is waiting for haswell, and this is tempororary. will dual channel memory just completely not work? is this a decent upgrade until haswell?

I've got $100 to upgrade this system for a friend. At the moment, it is: Pentium 4 631 2 GB RAM 266 MHz ATI X1100 Xpress Integrated Some really loud fan MOBO specs here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00864922&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3340210#N127 I was thinking of...
