Hi guys im getting paid soon and will have around £150 to upgrade my computer. Im after a new case, tv card and cpu cooler. Im currently using a P182 which i like but i do not like the set out for the HDD's.

Im using four at the moment so would like a case which could fit them in easy and keep them cool.

Im using a OCZ Vendetta so will wanna upgrade that since im hoping to run my Q6600 up to around 3.6Ghz.

Also need a TV card which will work with windows 7.

Any advice will be great thanks
 
Yeah not looking for top of the range just decent. If you dont think its enough then tell me what is

Thanks

Cheers for that mate. The Antec looks a little small for what im after. Going to running the Q6600 at 3.6Ghz so think i might need a bigger case with better airflow. Might be able to up my spending to £200 due to having a motherboard to sell.

Had a look last night and like the look of the Stacker 831 with the removable motherboard tray. So i should have £110 to spend after that.

Cooler im thinking of going with the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme as i have heard good things about them.

The TV card you have picked seems spot on so i should have about £20 left to buy two decent fans for the cooler and have a dual fan set up on it

Thank you
 
902 not big enough? what planet are you living on?

I don't know how size compares, but my Coolermaster Scout fits a GTX260 with a bit of space left over. Also fits a TRUE, but one of the side fan slots is rendered unusable. The second fan slot aims at the GPU area, so thats not exactly a bad thing.
 
No i was on about the Antec 300. The 902 looks bigger enough but i have already had a 1200 and was a little too noisey i found.
 
Awesome looking case but just out of my total budget. If they were cheaper then that is the case i would be after
 
Ok think i will be able to increase my budget so i think this is what i will be going for

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme Rev.C
Compro Tech Videomate T220

All i need to pick now is some thermal paste and a couple of 120mm fans. Any ideas?
 
Excellent thank you. I have some artic silver at home but i bought it nearly three years ago so think i might be better off buying new.
