Hi guys im upgrading my computer. So heres the current specs of my PC

CPU: i7-930
mobo: GB ex58-ud3r
ram: 6 gig(3x2gig sticks) of 1600 g.skill ram
psu: corsair 650tx
case: nzxt zero 2
gpu: asus 5850
hdd - ive got 5 hdd's from WD and seagate.

So i was looking at upgrading my gpu to a gtx 580. Because of this i was looking at a case which would fit this card better. ATM i was thinking of a getting a CM HAF 932. From a quick google search this card should fix in here fine but im open to other options. (ill be getting my parts at either msy - www.msy.com.au or pcdiy - www.pcdiy.com.au )

Also looking at OC'ing my cpu. Ive never done this before but im getting a friend to do it for me. I was thinking perhaps the scythe katana III.

Also with this upgrade im looking at getting a new PSU as in the future i plan on running this card in SLI. I was looking at getting either a corsair 850tx or a tough power 875W(the price difference is $3).

Any input on this would be much appreciated. Thanks :)

corsair is much better. have you looked at pccasegear.com btw, they are supposed to be great. and i couldn't find that cooler you said either, link would be appreciated. and that is a grat case, but look at lian li's they are supposed to be the highest quality cases around.

pccasegear has a lot of parts but the two places i named have cheaper parts and have a store which is only about 30 mins away from me. I didnt post the direct link to their parts pricelists as i figured some people maybe conscious of opening a pdf file from a site they have never been to before. Heres the one for pcdiy http://www.pcdiy.com.au/pricelist/pricelist.pdf and heres the one for msy http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf these two shops are also like a minute or two away from each other. The heatsink i mentioned is in the pcdiy pricelist (top left of second page are the heat sinks)
