Change the card to a 6850 or even a 6870 if you can pull it off. Could crossfire later if wanted.

Dont really like the Antec 300. I would go with a Cooler Master/ NZXT or a Lian Li in the same price range.
 
the 200 works fine for me. put some quality 120mm fans in the front, ~140mm in the roof and 1 in the back, great hard drive and system cooling on air. tight though...
 
Thank you for your fast input, I am relativly new to this and dont know all of the terms yet. Could you tell me what crossfire means?
 
There are two common technologies out there that allow you to use one or more graphics card to increase performance they are called crossfire and sli.

Crossfire gives you the ability to run two or more compatible ATI/AMD cards together to increase performance.

Sli is the ability to use two compatible nividia cards.

there are restrictions with what cards should be used for both but it is usually recommend you use two or more of the exact same card.

On amd, since they own ati now, it is very common to get crossfire and sli is harder to get, but still quite easy.

Only on certain intel boards atm do you have the option of sli or crossfire usually the board can "officially support" one or the other.

On my new board i choose to go back to nvidia and have the chance for sli.

is a good spu if you can afford it, HD6950 for 299.99

8GB of ram is kind of overkill atm if you drop to 4gb you save a bit and can put it on the gpu
