Ok, thanks for the replies gonna try that :)

Oh crappy, i hope i won't face anything like that if i decide to hook it up since the GTS 250 isn't even that expensive yet alone after the price wars between AMD and NV that is coming soon.

Ok, so first i thought of getting HD 5870, keep it until the end of the year and get gtx 480 to replace it but we all know what a failure fermi turned out to be... I will still be missing Physx though so i was thinking of hooking up HD 5870 as main card (and later on maybe 5970) and GTS 250...

It looks good in reviews. Here is one review with installation to Antec P180B and Storm Sniper.

That silverstone one looks really temptating and the noise isn't that much of and issue since i'm always listening music/playing something so i probs won't even pick it up.

Well one quick that caught my eye was Enermax Apollish which has auto-speed control, 700-1700rpm and 29-72cfm. How about that?

What kind of cooler would be good for h50 in p&p like is 49cfm and 1200rpm enough or do i need better fans for it?

Actually if i go with h50 it won't get kicked out of the back :p But HAF 932 and h50 there comes the problem, i'd need like fan adapter since as far as i know the back fan is 140mm only and h50 ofc is 120mm :banghead:

The reason i went with Sniper infact is those dust filters which HAF is completely missing, that's actually the one thing why i wasn't so fancy about getting HAF coz otherwise great case. Just all that mesh and ventilation and yet no filters :twitch:

I can run most of the games i want like crysis but i'd be damned to max them out on my new rig (if and when i get it).

It would be HUGE improvement lolz. I am running Athlon 64 x2 5200+, 2 gigs of ddr2 and radeon x1650 :laugh:. I can still do crysis 1280x1024 on medium though :)

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to build it in the next 2-3 months so even Phenom II X6's should be out so lower processor prices are likely also. If i get the 955 yes it's going to be c3.

Ok, i've been thinking of new build and will probably get it around summer. The build follows: Case: CM Storm Sniper PSU: Corsair 850hx Mobo: Crosshair III Formula CPU: Phenom II x4 955 CPU Cooling: Corsair Hydro H50 in P&P GPU: HD 5870 RAM: Mushkin Silverline HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB...
