869642 2010-03-24 07:14:00 Hi all. Time for me to upgrade.

Im wanting a SFF/m-atx tower but still powerful.

Budget is $2500.

I already have 2 dvd/cd burner drives, 2 hdd's I can use and a 650w psu.

Will be used as a everyday pc. For graphic design and as a media center and maybe be sum gaming. I just brought FEAR 1 and 2 and the add on packs.

Any help would be mint.

869647 2010-03-25 02:16:00 Toms Hardware just did a "best gaming system for $xxx".

The $1500 one could suit you well. 2x 5870 is overkill though. I'd spend the $$$ for the second GPU on a 128GB SSD for OS and games.

869648 2010-03-25 03:10:00 Are you really sure you want SFF/m-atx? really limits your options and costs more. Battleneter2 (9361)

869650 2010-03-25 05:02:00 I try to saty away from m-atx & sff, not much chance of the big cards fitting in there or much of any expansion....
I'm with BM on a SSD instead of 2nd GPU, and I'd also wait to see outcome of Fermi release

I really like my PC-A05N. Understated but classy. I like the way it is back-to-front, and upside down internally! A good price and it was really easy to work with. Do a search on You Tube. I'm sure there was a review on it, plus plenty of web sites.
