Need to Update Case and Maybe Graphic Card

[vegettoxp]

Hello there Guys, long time no talk. How?s everyone doing? Well I am back and of course need your guy?s opinion. In July my new Rig will be One Year Old. (I Feel Really Happy). I have updated The System Ram from 4GB to 8GB and I have also put in the New Raptor 150GB HD and I am glad that this is my now Main HD. So total of 4 HD in my system and of course running Windows 7 Ultimate RC as my OS. This I have updated so far. Now I was planning to update couple of other things, so this is where you guys come in. I have couple of Question for you, so here they are:

1) My case right now is CM Stacker 830 Black and of course it?s Big. I am looking to replacing this case with something new. My Price range is below $250. I have been looking around and so far this is the only case that has caught my attention

Lian Li - PC-V1010 or PC-V1000Z or PC-7FW or PC-60FW

Your thoughts on these Case or if you have any other recommendations, please feel free to share. Thank you for your time.

2) Graphic card I have right now is 8800GT and I have no problem with at all. I was looking into up-dating this too. Is this a Good Time to Update or Wait? Also what would be your guy?s recommendations? Nvidia or ATI doesn?t matter. Price wise I am looking to send $200 or less! This is would be used for Windows 7 and Casual Gaming.

You?re Thoughts on this update and recommendations are always welcome. Thank you for your time.

P.S. Josh

Anyone?

Subjective, but I like the PC-60FW most from your choices. However, I like the Stacker more.

Personally, I would save a day of my time...and considering your specs, a videocard under $200 is still the weakest component. I'd keep the Stacker, and apply the $140 saved toward a stronger card.

You say you have no problem at all with your 8800GT. So why do you want to upgrade it. Just because you feel like upgrading something?

It's always best to put off upgrades until you actually need them, because there's always something better coming around the corner. Like upcoming next gen cards.

Next generation of video cards should be out around September.

If you don't particularly need a new GPU today - wait. Even if the new cards are priced in the stratosphere they will push down the prices of today's top performers.

Thx for the input guys. I can wait for the graphic card update. I don't really have a good reason, but I just want to update to atleast mid-range card. I just don't like to have old suff in my system. I am not High-End User, but I do like my hardware.

Also thx Slugbait. I do also like the stacker, but I just have some issues with it. The stacker has alot of room and cooling wise, it really good. I guess I wanna have a small size case.
