Elecro how much money do you have

[Elecro]

i cant get a new motherboard/processor.

[Elecro]

Whether or not you're using a video card, that pentium dual core will bottleneck the stuff out of a 6670. You'll get about 30-40% total power out of that GPU.

If you're going to get a high(er) end GPU you need to find a processor to handle it too. If you're looking for budget, go AMD.

also, I don't really care about the bettleneck, just the peerformance on games.

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

Do you actually intend on buying that?

Yes, but i'm bad at choosing cases so this is why I asked here, I already chose my other stuff,can someone can please find me a better case, please, I plan on upgrading, also it can only go up to 200 or lower because I already hit my budget.

Full ATX Tower also.
Thanks
Well actually i'm not sure what tower, because the mobo just says "ATX" on it.

Just pick a Mid/full ATX case that you like the look of, check reviews and make sure it has cable-management holes, sufficient fans and space for whatever graphics card you're using.
Never ask anyone to choose your case for you, you'll have that thing sitting on your desk for the next few years, do it right and pick one that you think looks good.

I can send you in the right direction in terms of brands, though, Cooler Master, NZXT and Corsair do some very nice cases and I myself am quite partial to some of Xigmatek's cases (I have an Alfar with a windowed side-panel) so you should give their cases a look-through and ask us if the cases you like have the features you'll need/want.

Alright, thanks! Also how many internal and external bays do you suggest?

[Tokthree]

Average person would never need more than 2 external 5.25" bays and most cases these days come with at least 5 internal bays which is more than enough HDD's for any sane man

Thank you a lot!

Edit : I found this case, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133191&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I really like the look of it, and it has good reviews. But will it fit my motherboard, and is it worth the price? Also i'm not planning to do water cooling because this is my first build and I don't wanna ruin anything.

That case should be able to handle anything you want to put in it, looks like you found your winner

found this guy at the dump

[SiliconCactus]

Hold on I think you found Elecro's new computer

Oh, and do you guys know any cases around like $100 that can fit a triple 120mm radiator? The exact dimensions are 121x35x397mm (WxDxH), and it's a RS360 Triple Fan Radiator from XSPC. I would go for the RS240 (the double) but I'm overclocking dual 7950s, a 3570K, and Samsung 11 CAS 8GB RAM, so I need as much power as I can get.

a bottleneck affects performance ...

the motherboard's chipset had water on it. it was in the snow :(

-snip-

I like how the sticker doesn't even tell which video chip it is. I wouldn't be surprised if that thing had a Laguna 3D in it.
