You're looking at games from 2004-2005 and earlier.

Does anyone have any experience with the Gigabyte motherboard I linked? I've never used a Gigabyte brand motherboard before, would be cool if you guys shared some input.

@osirisx3: We'll see how I feel when I save up enough and decide to commence the building of the PC... It may not be needed, but I'd like to have a spare storage space that I can put music and other shit on so I'm not storing everything on my main drive.

Also, I thought the motherboard I picked out could do Crossfire.

It can but its only at x4 if you have 2 GPU's, look for another mobo which has x8 for Crossfire, it provides more bandwidth.

Those 2 guys must be drunk lol :p

So something like this? http://www1.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1207_1205_335&item_id=039915

I'm probably going to go with the big case I originally intended then. I'll be spending more money, but at least I won't have to worry about space and ventilation issues. If you guys know of any bigger towers that you like, I'm open to suggestions for that as well.

TC, Since you are planing on Crossfiring you should look into cases that have the room and cooling for the amount of hardware your putting in. While you dont need a full tower, you will need mid tower cases that can handle the job. Here are a few cases to consider. Corsair 400r/500r, Cooler Master HAF 922, But with that 280x you picked with that windforce x3 cooler your better off going with a full tower. HAF 932 HAF X or NZXT Phantom 530 etc.

What do you think of the ones I linked?

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, folks. I like the power supply. That looks like a real winner right there. I also want to clarify that I will be getting 8GB of memory for my new setup (I already have 8GB memory in my current setup). Sorry about the confusion.

I'm now looking at some new cases. Here are some that I'm also liking:

I'm really liking the NXZT cases. They already come with 3 120mm fans equipped inside, which is pretty convenient for me since I won't have to go out of my way to buy extra fans (save for maybe 1 for personal preference). I can also save quite a bit of money. They look good for the price.

@04dcarraher: There is a good chance that I'll buy another card and decide to crossfire in the future.

@04dcarraher: I really don't know a whole lot about PSUs, but I was hoping I could find something in the 800-850W range. As for the case, I am open to some cheaper suggestions if you know of any good ones. I want something spacious and generally something that has a bit more pizzazz than the one I currently have now.
