No the stock cooler should be fine.

For a 6850 the OCZ PSU I specced will be plenty and allow for future upgrades.
If you can stretch to a Z77 motherboard I suggest you do, then you can drop a 'k' chip in there later and overclock it :)

Ah yes sorry I didn't read your join date correctly.
 
 
yes there are. Can't help you much here, pick one you like the look of - all those above are decent!

I've got the Corsair 300R and really like it :) I suggest you read some reviews of the ones you like?

How long will they be? If its half a year, thats along time.
If its only 1-4 months thats fine

All very good cases! I've got the Shinobi and 300R here if you wanted to know anything specific about them.
 
Ok, thanks
I've heard the 300R is'nt USB 2.0 Compatible??? Also apparently it isnt very well made (according to hardware cannuks)
Also the shinobi, (dumb question) is it square like in the picture? or is it rectangle,
also do you think it would last for about 6 years? maybe for more builds?

It only has a USB3 header connector for the front USB ports. All the H77 boards should have a connector for this. The actual USB ports will still be backwards compatible :)
I'm quite happy with it to be honest. It's probably not as well built as the more expensive Corsair cases but its on par with cases of its price [e.g. the Shinobi]

Not sure what you mean about the Shinobi shape? It's a pretty standard case shape!

I think any of the cases would last that long if you look after then :)
