What's wrong with Seagate?

Guys, I have an older HP build with a 775 socket (Core 2 Quad Q6600 OR Q8200) with 6GB of DDR2 RAM. I was just thinking about upgrading the case to a fresher mid-tower (the current case is an HP Pavilion A6000 model, the airflow in it is so terrible). I'm torn between two budget cases, which one do you think I should purchase?

Antec Nine Hundred:

Or NZXT M59:

Personally i'd go for the Antec, it looks a lot nicer.
Although it's $50 more

How about the CM HAF or Storm Scout? Those are nice.

I've got the antec, it's a nice case
You're going to need to have the computer displayed on a table to show in its full potential

What would be a good computer build for around ~$700

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

Alright, I'm looking for a cheap and fast Wireless Internet Adapter, PCI or PCI Express X1 also. 20 to 30 dollars also.
Thanks in advance, again.

Probably something like an i5 and a 660 ti
Both of those would cost around $500 by themselves, I think that may leave enough room for a mobo, case and hard drives, if you have some spare things laying around that you could use.

what's wrong with an i3?

[Mr.jacksaunt]

what's wrong with an i3?

I think mango wants to play arma 2, which is very processor intensive. Something like an i5 would be good for that, but maybe a cheaper graphics card because arma isn't too graphically intensive.

Yeah I do.

Okay, thought building a decent computer was going to cost like $1000 lol

Thanks. I'll look into it.

That it's not as good as an i5.

Guys, my computer is freezing up while i'm playing games. Like the keyboard and mousepad freeze up, but all the programs and stuff run like nothing is happening. I could be playing Blockland and then I will just freeze up. My Blockhead will run and/or jump and shoot in the small direction until I put my laptop to sleep and wake it back up. This happens to me in all games.


Help, please.

I swear this is the last question i'll make in this topic for a while.
I need to find a good CPU Cooler that I can overclock with, but i'm having no luck. Can anyone find me a nice CPU cooler around $20-$60?

My sockets are LGA1155, and again, thank you.
