I will be building a new system two weeks from now, and here's my planned setup.
MOBO: Asus P5K
CPU: Intel C2D E6750
Video: 8800GTS 320MB (whichever brand is the best deal at that time)
Memory: 2GB 6400 DDR2 with ~4-4-4 latency (again, will choose the best deal at that time)
HDD: Seagate 7200.10 320GB SATAII 16MB
Optical: LG 18x SATA lightscribe (GSA-H62L)
And the case+PS as of now is Antec Sonata III
One thing I want to get your input on is the case and PS. The Sonata case looks nice and has a good PS, but it seems to barely fit 8800GTS with the front fan installed.
So, can you recommend a case and a PS that's similar to the quality of sonata III?
The Sonata case's lowest price is currently $119CAD, so any case + PS should be around the same price.
My budget is $1000CAD, and all of the above comes to a sum of just under $1000 (after shopping around for each part), so there really is no room for a more expensive case and ps.
And the case's gotta look elegant
Feel free to comment on any other components as well.
Thanks for looking!
EDIT: like to just clarify that I'm in Canada
