What do you currently have? 8800GTS 640?

That should be fine for 1440x900

Well, I don't really think an extra 8800gts is a good financial decision, since it doenst offer $380 dollars worth of performance. A case won't help at all either tho. Give usyour specs :-D

Maybe a better choice would be to sell the GTS and get a GTX (if you REALLY feel the need to upgrade).

That will be fine for Crysis (never heard of Corsair Ballistix), and at that resolution, there's no need for the extra GTS. Go for the case.

normally i would sell it and get a gtx or higher but ive seen that 2 8800gts 640mb sli can actually outperform a single 8800gtx and 8800 ultra card so thats why im think get another one as well rather than sell it
