I think you should post links to the cases that caught your eyes. The cases that YOU like, and then we could analyze and share information for each case. We all have our own preferences. At the end of the day, you will be the one staring at your lovely case. ;) Just some food for thought.

Good point you have there :P . Well to be honest I really like the antec 902 but wanted to ask if there is a better alternative regarding cooling but with a similar look to the antec 902. Also will an SLI setup fit in the antec 902 since it's a midi case?

it'll fit in the 920 just fine,since its big for a mid. however the 902 has terrible wire management. I would know, it was my old case >.>

a 5830 and a 5870 works, but it the stronger card will downgrade to match the weaker one. So same card is best.

or you can reformat.

Just a new case and mobo isnt a new pc at all imo, none of the specs have really changed.

If just for the cpu, get a rasa starting kit. Its great and cheap and you can always add to it later on.

Just found some benchmarks, a 570 beats a 6970 by about 10 frames per second.

links PLS, I can guarantee that any major benchmarking review websites benchmarks show that the two cards are on par

I have 6970 and qith 2AA@1080p everything maxed I get rocksolid 60 FPS and if not mistaken with vsync on

skip to 5:37 for benchmarks.

Why in the world would you listin to some random guy on youtube.

what is your screen resolution, and for those games, the gpu is def more important. And no your cpu shouldnt bottleneck a 5770.

Unless its a really cpu intensive game, no it wont make a big a difference as a new gpu. I suggest you save up.

Holy crud expensive cases.. is the PSU included perchance..? Mine is roughly $40 and looks pretty cool too with led fans and side window..

The haf series has awesome airflow to go along with it thought, which case do you have?

Every laptop/desktop will be outdated in three years. I suggest you get a gaming desktop though, unless you seriously move alot because gaming laptops have bad price/performance, limited upgradablity, heat/battery issues.
