Yeah I'm suffering from the Mid/Full tower dilema. Each has their benefits and I cant decide! The motherboard I'm looking at is the GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 which is an ATX board.

Hey all!
So I'm about to start my first PC build since.....early 2000s? Yeah, it's been a while as I moved to consoles for gaming and laptops for computing. ANYWAYS I've been looking at cases and both the HAF 922 and HAF X have caught my eye. My question is will I need a full tower or a mid-tower suffice for my planned build?

My main concern is being able to fit in SLI GTX 570s as those will me taking up the most room.

Thanks in advance for your help!

[QUOTE="Gen_Mojo"]

Do i really need 1000W tho? i'll be running an i7-2600K (will be overclocking it) a GTX 570 SC and possibly going to get an SLI setup later on in the year.

Well, 1,000W isn't necessary for SLI 570's, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. It is an 80% Gold PSU.

so you're saying i'm dumb not to grab this? :P

Hey, so I stumbled across a 1000W PSU for pretty dirt cheap. Should I grab this or just get an 850W PSU?
Also, I've been looking at the GTX 570. A local store has the eVGA GTX 570 HD on for $284 and the eVGA GTX 570 HD SC on for $304. Is theeVGA GTX 570 HD SC worth the extra $20 or should i just get them normal 570 HD?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all! So with BF3 on the horizon I've decided I'm going to get back into PC gaming after many, many years of console gaming. I've gotten all my parts picked out and I'd like to eventually run a SLI/Crossfire setup by the end of the year. My question is will crossfire 6970s or SLI 570s give me better overall performance in games (mainly BF3)

Thanks in advance!

if you buy the disk version of the game, can you install it to your HDD and play it from then on without the disk?..Antwan3K

nope, you need the disk. or else everyone would rent it, install, take back. they'd make absolutely no money off of it aha
