Ok guys, im building my second PC but with higher specs than the last 1 & need some help.

I just bought the Biostar Tpower I45 Motherboard along with an MSI NX8800GTX graphics card & 4GB Geil Black Dragon DDR2 800MHz ram & a Samsung 1TB 1000GB Spinpoint F1 SATA II hard drive.

All i need now is a PSU, CPU & Case.

I was going to get the Intel Q8400 or Q6600 along with this PSU: 3000rpm

But i was told i would need a modular PSU for the card to work.

I also dont know what kind of case i would need since the GFX card is liquid cooled & the radiator needs to be mounted inside the case.

I was going to get a clear acrylic pc case but im not too sure if it would fit everything inside it.

I have also oredered a XFX 9800GT even though i know this motherboard only supports Crossfire.

Just wondering which card i should keep as im giving the other 1 to my uncle.

Any help/info is much appreciated.

Cheers

You JUST bought an 8800GTX? I don't understand...
Also, a 3000rpm PSU?
A case like the NZXT Tempest would fit either card. The 9800GT is smaller and much more efficient, but the 8800GTX is slightly faster.

Mmm, a toughpower. Powerful, if you can stand the racket.
Better PSU:

You do not need a modular PSU for the card to work.

How much did you pay for the 9800GT? You may as well sell it and give your uncle a cheaper card, unless he's a mainstream gamer he won't need anything like that.

Ouch, pretty steep considering you could have got an HD4850 for £80.
Up to you which you keep, but seriously, unless your uncle's also a gamer, there's no need to keep both.
