im thinking of doing a little upgrade

[Langlest]

originaly i was planning on buying a i7 bundle to replace my e8600 but after being told i wont see a difference in games i thought id buy a few things to oc my current system instead

im planning to upgrade from a 620w corsair psu to a 850w as i have a gtx295
i also plan to replace my 800mhz ram with some 1066mhz

while im at it i thought it would be nice to get a decent case to put them in too so what do you think?

anyone had any experience with fitting a 295 in this case?

Honestly mate, i wouldnt go with that case, its OP, also it doesnt seem to be air friendly :\

 

[Langlest]

any suggestions on a different case?
i currently have this one
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-145-CM

but it makes a lot of noise and seems to be able to suck in dust from 10 meters away

Personally im thinking of changing my case to this:

add some sound dampening foam, with some noctua fans.... plus you will have some money to spend..

So no noise, and no dust! YES!

edit: with the money you have left buy another set of ddr3 memory then you will have 8GB Xd

What about something like this for a case.

And i'm now expert but unless you're overclocking would faster ram make a difference?

upto 10 fans lol or a decent watercooling system etc it should last for 3 or 4 more upgrades

thanks for the advice guys
i like the look of the case reeceLAV suggested but im not sure if i would get my gtx295 into it

i do plan to overclock thats why im going for the faster ram

im trying to avoid cases that have huge vents all over them like my current one has

And im sure that care would fit inside of it, just look around in them forum posts to compare card lengths and you will know if it does or not.

[Langlest]

[Nemesis379]
