Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
Biostar TForce 965PT
Scythe Infinity
eVGA 7600GT PCI-E 16x
2 x 1GB A-DATA PC5400 DDR2667
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA
Need a good case to fit this stuff in. Not expensive...willing to shell out $75...100...125 if I HAVE to...trying to be economical with this PC but still powerful. Just one that can for sure fit a cooler like the Infinity or a Zalman that way I can overclock my heart out. Also need a good PSU to power this stuff...that has an adequate amount of cables with adequate length and enough power on the rails to power all my stuff above. Haven't built a PC in about 2 1/2 years so kind of out of the know as far as cases and PSUs are concerned. Anand's site made the CPU/Mobo/Mem/VGA pretty easy (thanks to Gary Key for answering all my questions!). =) Anyways, any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: I'm looking at the Antec P180 and it scares me that the Scythe Infinity wouldn't fit in alot of cases because it barely fits in the 180. I just L-O-V-E though how quiet the HSF is....23.8dB...and seeing as though it's for my wife and she hates noise, I really wanted to get her a quiet HSF that was also capable of allowing me to overclock the E6300 to the 3Ghz range. Any other alternate suggestions of HSF?
