11 replies, posted
Hey guys!
Ive been looking at upgrading my comp. case and I was wondering if you guys have any good suggestions, budget max is around $100-ish, I'd like to keep it under a hundred dolla's.
Also, my I was a tad curious on my GPU's and what you guys had to say about that!
Ive been looking at the Cooler Master HAF 912 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233[/url]
and the Cooler Master Storm:Scout [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119196[/url]
Anywho, thanks for checking this out! I'm looking forward to see what you people throw at me!
Thanks again! :D
So you're just getting a case for $100, right? And not GPU and Case?
Well right now, case comes first, I was just curious as you what you guys would suggest for me as far as GPU's as well. (:
What are your specs and resolution? Give us a budget for the GPU as well.

Res:1400x900
Specs:
Current GPU: 4670 HD Radeon 1GB DDR2
Motherboard: ASUS M4N68T-M
CPU (im probably gonna need to upgrade my CPU before I can get a new graphics card): AMD Athlon II x2 240 2.8GHz (currently over clocked to 3.0GHz)
RAM: one 2GB stick of OCZ not exactly sure on the more specific specs.
Is this enough info?
Almost. What's the PSU?

OH right, heh, I knew I forgot something. Here: Rosewill RV2-500 50OW
Unless your case is really shit, I recommend you to buy a new GPU and a new PSU.

Heh, my case is absolute shit....So much so that I would have to buy a new case before I could upgrade my GPU because I wouldn't be able to fit anything bigger than my current card due to my HDD sticking out because this case has shitty drive-bays....So yea, I totally would skip the case if it wasn't that vital, also I have poor air flow, and any upgrades I get are sure to run hotter than my current hardware.
