Good point. I chose the case for the excellent cable management with big rubber gromits and many many holes. Also the back panel in curved to fit even more cables. I also love the clips the panel. I agree it is a lot, but it should last for years. Sorry for dragging this back up. I need to see what monitor the guy above suggested
I would downsize your gpu and go for something like a 570, add a bit more towards your CPU, that speaks balance to me. A Case IMO should be as future proof as a mobo, should be enough room for big GPUs, Potential watercooling, cable management, bays etc
That chip is perfect for gaming, no need to go any higher. +1 for the 7970, no point in buying a 580 now. The SSD is great, have one myself and its only £120 now saving you some cash.
Hey I reckons get a gt560 ti and an intel corei3 2130 because most games don't support more then 2 threads and you don't need such a powerful pix for Katrina but depends if you want performance or power and I have a six core and compared to a intel 2 core there isn't much difference on gaming but video encoding
