if you use combo deals and whatever enough, lower a few things, and get rid of the ssd, should be able to squeeze 2 5970s into this build
[QUOTE=cryticfarm;19692267]if you use combo deals and whatever enough, lower a few things, and get rid of the ssd, should be able to squeeze 2 5970s into this build[/QUOTE] See, I was going to do that except the thing is, NewEgg ran out of 5970 for a while, or whenever I look for it. That's why it's going to be 5850/5870.
well you could just WAIT

Usally the fans that comes with cases, are shit and can be replaced with a much better alternative for $10 more. And "so they have room", it depends on the size of the case, not the price tag. Whenever it's Full-ATX, Mid-ATX, or µATX is what tells you if you have lots of space or not.

Almost 90% of the time, the full tower will cost more. Some cases are crap but costs just because of it's brand, that is true. And if you looked at the builds up there then all the cases are full towers, hence why they cost more.

And it even says "Higher is Better" on the top right. I mean seriously, WTF??!! But anyway, I think it's the game that can't handle the card, instead of the other way around :/ And the fuck, even a single HD 5970 beats my card more than 100% FPS (The GTX 295)!!!!! DAMN !!! This is wayyy too OVERKILL !!! I bet getting an extra 295 would still lose to this monstrous HD 5970.
Make sure you buy at least a gross of assorted color LEDs

well i prefer things to look simple and streamlined thus why i have this (on the way) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112243[/url] however i'm not going to lie and say it wasn't expensive or anything like that [editline]12:58PM[/editline] i wish the fans didn't have LEDs but whatever
[QUOTE=M_B;19709117]HAF 932 is an ugly piece of shit in my opinion[/QUOTE] You opinion doesn't matter on cases. Just the quality of the product and coolermaster has fine quality.
