You might want to try the Antec 900 case. I have had a good experience with that

Thx for the info, I want to go with a case large enough for a water cooling system. I could spend around $11,000

Nice pc build, Although I might suggest 2 smaller hard drives in RAID-0. Say maybe 2 750Gb or something? Other than that, I am jealous as to how you got that much money at 15. I'm 14 and I'm getting a new pc myself but it is not as good as yours(although my GFX cards come pretty close).

Those are good specs, and this will be my first Gaming PC, I have always used Dell so I am really tired of it. I plan to get one of them awesome and beautiful green water cooling system, so awesome! Should I get Windows Vista or XP? Right now I have 32-bit and alot of compatibility issues with many games..and too much restriction on every d**** folder. XP has always been good for me when I had it. Now theres two tough choices, cause Vista improves the graphics a bit and has awesome backgrounds if you'd notice. |

When you picked the highest performance hardware on the market what kind of suggestions can someone even make?
Unless you're a millionaire my only suggestion is not to spend that much money. I see no point in spending that much money on something that will be obsolete in 5 years. If you spend $3000 that's already a high end system that could run any game on the market. As you keep going higher, the speed obviously increases, but the value for the money decreases. Also, keep in mind that your interests might change and you might regret spending that kind of money. |

Agree with Kraut. You don't need to be on the bleeding edge to get the most out of games. Just make sure your system is good enough for upgrades in the future and save the money, or buy me a new computer with the money you save!
