Best GPU for this rig....

Would THIS case be better for GPU airflow?
Can't see any infor about whether it take a full ATX psu or not though.

Just wondering whether moving to an AMD cpu like the FX-6300 or 8320 with a 7950 would work out just as good a performer for less money, bearing in mind the GPU doing 'most' of the work.

Yes for gaming any decent ish amd cpu will be fine.

Read some reviews on cpu and gpu combo's to see whats best suited at the price you want to pay.

That case looks pretty decent for a small one, Does it have to be a small case?
