i have decided to go with this card! It seems a good performer and seems slightly better than the 560ti i was originally thinking about! (any opinions and suggestions)

Soo all i need is a bit of advice! This card is a lot longer than my 8800gts so unfortunatly will need a new case to make it fit! Im on a bit of a budget, as i also need a new psu to support the 2x pci connections needed for this card!

Case wise ive found this one (antec one hundred)

I have an Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard and hope this case is ok for that!

As for a new power supply id like some suggestions! Thinking around £50-60 max really maybe 700w?

Annnd (sorry) a cooler for my processer intel q6600 go as im going to overclock it along with a fresh install of windows 7!

Spec at the mo is

1x 160gb hdd
4Gb ram
Q6600
512mb 8800Gts
500w jeantech psu

I hope ive provided enough information!

Also opinions on the case and card would be appreciated! Will this set up (along with the cpu oc) be enough to handle todays games at a good rate?

Can currently run wow and bfbc2 on high settings and a very playable framerate so surely all this will be an improvement?

Kind regards, thanks for reading!

Ahh nice only problem is i dont think i have 2 pci connectors with my current psu :(

As for cooler anything around 30 should be fine soo ill flick through those links :)

And that case seems a good deal!

So will the system be good for gaming? Or do i need processor upgrade at some point?

Thanks for all the help given!
