    Nzxt Phantom 410 OR Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced Mid Tower Cabinet

    Phantom looks cooler IMO but that really is just subjective.

    Please suggest a wireless keyboard/mouse combo

    Hi dude, what exactly is your budget? Logitech make a few high-quality, wireless mouse+keyboard combos. They're a really nice/reliable brand. Their MX5500 is great (I have it) and would definitely recommend it (if it is within your price range)!

    Anyone use a sound card?

    I use the Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 7.1 sound-card and honestly, the sound is crystal clear. Was worth the money imo. Superb clarity and rich sound

    Is a Radeon HD 7770 worth the upgrade over a 5770?

    Save up some money and then sell your HD 5770 for the 7850, as others have suggested. I'm sure you can get $50-$70 for your 5770, and spending extra dough on the 7850 will be more than worth it (especially if you're willing to overclock). Overclocked it is DEFINITELY a future-proof card at 1080p...

    Low-end GPU question.

    Hi man, what exactly is your budget? Because as you said, even a very low-end card could run SC2 on medium settings. What is your screen res? If you're willing to spend about $120 you could max out SC2 or DiRT :)

    Logitech g300

    The G300 is pretty good value for money, although if I was you and was also looking at the lower end of the gaming-mice market, I would rather go for the Cooler Master Xornet. It is about 25-35% cheaper than the G300 and offers performance very similar to the G300. And if you have a 'claw-grip'...

    3570k vs 2500k

    If you are choosing for a new build, I would marginally recommend 3570K but only because it consumes marginally less power and because it is the current generation. 3570K is a straight replacement for the 2500K but in reality, hardly better if at all.
