I recently decided to put together a gaming pc ( I have always wanted one). I wanted to build one that could max out all games presently and that down the road I could sli. The parts are coming next week and I am nervous about building it myself. I have looked at videos and to me the hardest part looks like putting in the mobo correctly(All those atx stubs dont wanna screw it up) and cable managment. Just wanna hear some feedback on it =)

Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Well it's a very nice build with no blunder but still I feel you didnt think some things through.

Your PSU is not enough to SLI GTX 580 so why pay more for the SLI board? Buying a new PSU when you want to SLI completely kills the value you get out of such a thing. And the PSU itself is a medium quality unit, you really should have gone corsair with that budget.

Secondly the casing does not exactly compliment the rest of the system as well as it could if you spent a bit more on it but I guess you could have done worse.

The GTX 580 is overpriced but I guess you are aware of it and if thats what you really wanted then nothing too wrong with it.

9/10 overall - dont like the casing and PSU you choose given your budget so a point deducted for that.

yeh now that you say that the psu was prolly bad to get this early. I am planning to sli down the road but not for awhile so I guss I will just upgrade then...mental slip lol. As for the case I went with reviews...has like 980 reviews average 5 out of 5 stars. People said there was alot of room and they didnt have problems with it and it was the best mid tower case for the price.

Cant you just return it and get a corsair 850W??

And ya the casing is very good for the price, I just feel you should have spent around $30 more and get something like the HAF 922. But still the antec 300 is fairly respectable case, try to return the PSU and you are good.

I know the case isnt crap because of the reviews, as long as it can hold my stuff and cool it decently i dont care. The psu got decent reviews as well. all people said was to get a 80+ certified psu. I am not planning on sli for a long time( when the price goes down a bunch i might). I just wanted to make sure I had a motherboard that could support it now so i didnt have to switch later. Maybe even tri sli years down the road.
