Need help picking a Case and Video card any suggestions?

EiSFX · Sep 27, 2012

Hello all i plan on upgrading my Case and video card here in about a month. Was wondering what you all would suggest with a budget of $175 for the case and $200 for the video card Keep in mind I'm in canada.

These are the two I have liked so far.

Case
NZXT Phantom Full Tower, Black

Video card
MSI R7850 Twin Frozr OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB PCI-E

Also I'm not a fanboy of eather video card. I don't care of eather AMD or Nvidia I just like what would actully be better for the price.
And for the case I would prefer a full tower case anything kinda eye catching but not way over the top kinda thing.

Any suggestions would be awesome and will consider any of them.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest this over the Phantom if you like the NZXT cases.
NZXT SWITCH 810 White CA-SW810-W1 Steel / Plastic ...

What about a few bucks more for a 7870 Ghz?

@sneekypeet

I was looking at that case too a few things bothered me about it i personally find the top of the case kinda ugly and i have read from a few people they say after owneing it for a while you get a little bit of a raddle from the top open/closeable vent thing but i was looking at that one too keep in mind it dosen't have to be NZXT

@manofthem

Good find I might just do that or maybe get a little cheaper case so i have extra for the video card Thxs
