can find me a good casing? one that has big spaces and cool looking(abit like alienware style)cheaper plz thx!

which graphic card should i choose?

TheiPhone3GS — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:18:20 +0800

which should i pick?

sapphire hd 5870 toxic 2gb gddr5 rm1665

or

gigabyte gtx 460 1gb gddr5 oc(rm800x2) rm1600

price almost the same but which has better performance? performance comes first, power consumption comes second. but if one of the gpu only offers around 2-3 fps improvement then power consumption is first, later then temperature
btw help me pick a mobo that has dual gpu slot and around rm500-rm600.

i want this gpu to be able to play modern games (high settings) and future games(medium setting)
gonna use it for 3-4 yrs
