help for choosing my new case?

AvoK95

i am upgrading my pc and i need a new case because im getting a nvidia gtx 560ti and possible upgrade my cpu to an i5/i7 and i am going to do some overclocking
i need a new case ...i can pay a MAXIMUM of 150$
i do want a tower case but they are to expensive and i don't want the inwin maelstorm
i prefer buying it via pc and parts
but i am unsure of what case i want
i found the inwin fanqua and the thermaltake V3 that are good and afordable
what do you guys think ??

This topic has been mentioned milliions of times here...basically it boils down to the HAF series...you can find them in Republic of Gamers store.

^THIS.
Also just to be sure, u need a 550w and up psu fo the 560ti. Also as for overclocking on your current board will NOT help much. Also upgrading to an i5/i7 on your current motherboard to go with the 560ti @ your current resolution is NOT worth it. Ypu can already MAX out most/all games at your resolution via 560 ti, trust me on this.

who told you that i don't know these things...
i already got a new Inwin IRP COM750W PSU but its RMA-d now...thats why i am not updating my signature...
and i know that my motherboard isn't overclockable but hopefully i will find a new one...and i am not upgrading the CPU just for the games....i am a power user,and also i HATE loading time LOL :P

no offense buddy, thats why i said at the begining "just to be sure".
Well hen you are already set :), and since you already hate loading time, getting a new cpu will not help much, but an SSD... Now that is what i call fast ;).

ive purchased the haf 912 asian advanced edition so far so good form republic of gamers for 160$.

I think it was a good deal for me as the haf x is much bigger it needs more space (full tower) while the 912 is mid-tower.

naa i don't think so ...the only haf i like is HAF X :)

@TheStunMan: The HAF 912 is amazing dude! Mabrook!

@AvoK95:Republic of Gamers has a HAF-X, though. I don't think you will be using one though, since you are only running a single card, an ATX mobo, and probably a single hard drive and DVD drive. By comparison, I have a Thermaltake Element G mid-tower (HAF were not available) and I'm running 3-4 HDDs, 2 DVD Drives, ATX mobo, 2 graphics cards (1 physX), a 150mm height CPU cooler, fans like crazy, and it is low noise and keeps temps same as open bench. 2 x 120mm front, 230mm side, 120mm back, 200mm top. Almost same as HAF 912.

EDIT: by the way, he will be getting the HAF 912 for the same price, $160. But the HAF X's price will shoot up. He also has the Cooler Master Storm in the store right now. It fits in between the HAF 922 and the HAF 932 in terms of cooling capability. Check it out.

BTW SSD are the best , you will not imagine until you give em a try,

He's the ASUS dealer in Lebanon. I think that says enough.
