Well I did say a fulltower case but i really mean just something bigger than the 300 that has better cable management. So is the Cosmos a good choice.

Anyone else have anything to say about this? Thanks!

Hi, I have the opportunity to buy a really good condition Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 for $60. Should I get it, or should I get some other full tower case after saving a little more. Help would be appreciated! Thanks! :D My Rig, Core i3 2100 (want to upgrade to Ivy on Black Friday) ECS P67 H2-A2...

Thanks, this helps alot!

OK, so I would like help on overclocking a Intel Core i5 2500K cooled by a Corsair A70 all on a ASUS Sabertooth P67 motherboard. I want to overclock the 2500K to about 4.0-4.3Ghz, so I would like to know what i should set the voltages to for maximum lifespan and stability. I haven't overclocked...

More like $2133 after the mail in rebate on the 800d and $2158 before.

I would stay with the ASUS Z68 Deluxe MOBO because it was reviewed on OverclockersClub.com and was rated very very well. Also, your budget would allow you to keep the i7 2600K (which is better in the long run as games get more intensive). Get two sets of this Gskill ripsaws x series 1866...

For the PSU I would get this: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W Modular High performance power supply- $150. Since the GTX 580 is too powerful I would get this: MSI N480GTX Lightning (Same level as the GTX 570 but more overclockable and a better cooler)- $300 And because you want an ATX...
