1) Nobody knows where you are.
2) You're gonna need more than a 430W for a DX10 card.
3) You're gonna need a big ass case to house a DX10 card.
4) Antec P190 + Seasonic M12 700W

Agreed on the amount of power you are going to need to run a DX10 card. Read some articles on what those amounts are. I would go with the Enermax Liberty 620W. Case is a matter of personal preference. I like Lian Li's cases.

1. if you need to know, im from israel
2. im planing buying the mainstream DX10,
they wont be big like as high end DX10 , im planing getting the "8600"
3.if the 7900GTX can fit this cases i guess the "8600" can fit too.
4. its 600$!!!!! case 300$ psu 300$!!!

my budget is around 150-170$

Lian Li's cases start here from 270$ for the simple
and 500$ for the good cases.


"Case is a matter of personal preference" not only , every case got diffrent preformance,
i wanna the the best case+PSU for my budget,
i need an case with a very good airflow, so i could rich a higher OC speeds.
and keep the components as cool as they can get.

Supposedly the new 8800GTX is 10.4inches long so bear that in mind when choosing a case. Some midtower cases wont allow for that. nVidia is supposedly reccomending a 450w psu although 400w will probably cover it if its a good quality psu. I'd go with nVidia's reccomendation though just to be on the safe side.

How can the Antec SLK3000B be more expensive than the P150? The former is like the cheapest case in Antec's line-up. Well, if you're stuck w/ the options in your list, I would get the P150. Got a pretty good review from SPCR.

its a "second hand" P150 so its cheaper
new p150 cost around 240$
