    Will this case be good enough?

    I'm still confused. Are you saying the airflow to one of the cards is gonna be crap no matter what I do or does adding fans help with that? For example would bigger case+fans vs smaller(current) case+fans make a difference? From what I see in the picture the cards would barely fit and that...

    What kind of PSU and Mobo for 6970 XFire?

    Hey guys! So i'm builiding a new machine with i5-2500k CPU. I was gonna go with GA-P67-UD3 mobo and a Corsair TX650W PSU mostly because of my budget. But since I'm planning to have 2x 6970 XFire pretty soon (just one at the start) I'm wondering if those 2 aren't good enough? I realise I probably...

    Yeah, I'm probably buying at a local store for warranty purposes but the prices are about the same all over EU. None of the site I use are in english to give an example though.:oops: 25th of? I don't think I can afford a 570 since it cost like $520 here. Any idea how much the 560 will cost...
