[QUOTE=Noz;23446552]How can a case be unreliable for god's sake?
I've never had a bad experience with a Rosewill case. Their power supplies on the other hand...[/QUOTE]
Its plastic, gets worn down easily, flimsy, bad airflow, etc..
I was looking around for cases cause the Antec Three Hundred looked a little boring for me so I was seeing if this case was alright...

If you guys still recommend the Antec Three Hundred then I'll just buy that.

This is a good one too. Antec and Coolermaster have good cases.
oooo That one looks nicer imo. I will probably get that. Would you recommend it? Is it really worth spending the extra money instead of getting the old antec case?

It's the same price as the HAF 922. I'd go for it.

But seeing as there are holes for fans am i gunna need to buy some?

[QUOTE=xxncxx;23445863]
Your CPU should come with a heatsink. A heatsink takes the heat from your CPU so it doesn't get too hot. Normally the heat is transferred through small copper pipes, then to aluminum plates, which is cooled by a fan. In short, Heatsinks keep your CPU cool. Stock heatsinks usually aren't too good, so you should look into a new heatsink shortly after buying your computer. They aren't too expensive either. Normally less than $100.[/QUOTE]
You only need a new one if you're overclocking. If you leave it on stock, it's pointless.

Only if you want them.
The fans that come with the case should be fine.
I would go with a HAF im going to use a HAF 932 in my new build it took me hours of watching videos trawling through the internet and looking at so many cases before i came to the decision of the HAF.
I chose the HAF because i like the style personally the fact that it is roomy good cable management x3 230mm fans stock plus the standard 140mm exhaust. That thing can move air well and at a relatively quite level because of how large the fans are.

I don't like the build of the HAF series, with the CM690, he has more room, sturdier, and less plastic.

No, you will not need to buy any unless you want more fans. It comes with 3, one back and top exhaust, and one in front to cool your hard drives.
Get a CM Storm Scout or Sniper. Sniper's a tad more expensive though :X
Gahh so many case recommendations. Its down to the HAF 922 or the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced.
[QUOTE=Slithersoul;23433596]Just not GREAT cases.
Also get a Phenom 955 instead of that i5. The difference is marginal but the Phenom is about $45 cheaper. Or if you want a CPU with that high a price get the Phenom 1055T.[/QUOTE]
No. There is a difference. Core i5 > 955.
Don't listen to this guy OP.

690 II Advanced for sure!
Oh damn so many questions D:
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130562[/url] Well I was gunna get that card but the 1gb one is in the store so would you guys recommend the 1GB one instead?
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130566[/url]
And is EVGA the best company that has the GTX 460?

If you have the money, I would definitely recommend the 1GB version of the 460.
[url]http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=13421745[/url] Thats my final build. Unless The 1GB GTX 460 comes back in stock I'm just gunna buy the 768 MB one. No more changes to this right?

Same card, different brand, lower price. Still 1gb.

Do these brands matter? Is there a difference in the way that it performs?
[QUOTE=SKxJason;23498188]Do these brands matter? Is there a difference in the way that it performs?[/QUOTE]
Not really, its just how the different companies build them. But its got good ratings, so I'd go with it.

Alright, but if they restock the 1GB EVGA i'll probably get that. How often do they restock their items?
[QUOTE=SKxJason;23498433]Alright, but if they restock the 1GB EVGA i'll probably get that. How often do they restock their items?[/QUOTE]
Since its quite popular and new, they should have more maybe a week or two into August. Maybe even at the end of this month. You can set it to notify you when it does come back in stock.
Anyways if it doesnt restock by the time I buy will the 768 GB version be able to run TF2, CS:S, Bad Comapny 2, Garrys Mod smoothy?

MB, not GB. Yes, you will run them smoothly. Not on maximum settings, but around medium/high.

Oh oops haha. Anyways yeah i'll get the 768 unless the 1GB comes out. Thanks for all the answers bro. You helped me a bunch
I've heard that there is a version of the card that overclocks well if your interested in that, I think it's the MSI cyclone although someone else will have to confirm this
Haha well I'm a total noob. How do I overclock? is it something done over the pc or do you have to take the gpu and fix stuff up?
[QUOTE=SKxJason;23501472]Haha well I'm a total noob. How do I overclock? is it something done over the pc or do you have to take the gpu and fix stuff up?[/QUOTE]
To overclock, you can go into your motherboards BIOS, and change clock speeds, or you can download a program where it'll give you a better user interface and you can overclock from there.
It's probably best you don't worry about it, the impact wouldn't be massive anyway
So whos more trustworthy MSI or Gigabyte? I checked the msi one and its out of stock too. But that fan looks like it can cause another ice age.

They are both good. Just go with whats in stock right now. If it breaks you can always RMA it.
Once again sorry for this kind of question but how much better would the 1gb evga card work than the 768 mb one?
