This gives you room to later add a second vid card for SLI and future upgrades.Personally I prefer a full tower case(examples Aspires full towers as well as others) but this case does have suficent room.If your an ATI man you could save money (in the short run) going with the Ati vid card.Or if you want the Asus A8n series are also very strong MB's.If you thought you might sometime overclock I would add a little money and buy a little higher quality ram.This is a good starting place but I recommend research on the Memory forum and the power supply forum as well as the motherboard and memory forum.I would also go to Toms Hardeware and study thier vid card reviews.Good Luck and welcome to the Forums.
