Hi all, just looking to replace my i7-950, gtx470 rig. I need a replacement because my wife has taken it over as her pc died.

So i came up with this:-

From what i have read it will be better on both cpu and gpu fronts.

So my questions are (finally):
does this setup look balanced?
is the 850 psu able to run 2 570's if i sli?
and is the case a good choice? ( i prefer the looks of my corsair but the budget doesn't run to one this time)

Not sure on how good the Antec 902v3 is but they are good from what i have read from reviews aswel as from some of the members on the forum who got them with pics. Also the 850 psu can sli thr 570s smoothly but in not much breath space after that if you plan to add more things in the future. Other than that the spec is balanced and good to go.

Treat yourself to the case that you REALLY want! After all, you will have it a long time and you deserve it after handing over your other pc to the missus (even tho' it was just an excuse to get an upgrade)

Besides, your birthday is less than a year away :happybday:

You have just saved your missus a fortune donating your old PC to her, least she could do is contribute a little to help you get the case you need in order to keep your new PC cool and in tip top condition for when she needs it (when she kills the one you just donated).
