T Thresh25 Daemon Poster Messages 818 Aug 16, 2008 #53 get the gtx280. with that budget you want the best stuff. However, I have read a lot of bad reviews from Asus as far as video cards go. I'd try to find another brand maybe. just a thought.

Luke Golden Master Messages 5,605 Location Vancouver, Canada Aug 16, 2008 #54 ^there is really not much reason to get a 280 anymore with the x2 kicking around for not much more.

Redmo0n Techalicious Messages 1,566 Location Perth, Australia Aug 17, 2008 #57 I would go 4870x2. And i would probably go with the Antec 300/900
aspire The Water Cooling Guru Messages 5,308 Location United States Aug 17, 2008 #58 Forget the Antec 900! It's a terrible case, honestly...

The fans don't have any kind of dust filters. 4. For what it is, it's about 40 dollars overpriced. 5. The power supply in the bottom causes all kinds of issues with the cords length. 6. Wire management is neigh impossible without a significant amount of cutting. 7. Everyone has them so they aren't unique or different. Those enough reasons for ya?
