Case And PSU

4Xcut

Is this a decent case:

Cooler Master Cavalier 3 Silver (Without PSU)

And is this a decent power supply

Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W Powersupply, Black

If they're not good enough to run a 6800GT and a second one in a couple of months any reccomendations are welcome(try to keep total of case and psu under €200 please)

Is the power supply good enough though. Would the case make that much of a difference because i was going to get a zalman 7700 for the cpu, an arctic cooler for the graphics card and the ram has heat spreaders on it cos it corsair xms pro.

U'd want a decent airflow from the front to the rear of the case. Ideally a 120mm fan front n rear. If u like the coolermaster then i see n reason not to buy it, decent review of it here http://www.burnoutpc.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=128 The only thing id have against it is the lack of access for air to enter the case from the front..

Power supply isnt very good at all. Thermaltake have very very little power on the 12V rail in general.
If youre buying off komplett get the Fortron 400W. Probably much more powerful for your uses, not to mention quieter and cheaper.

Avoid thermaltake like the plague. They suck balls.

will fortron 400w be enough to power two 6800gts . Any direct recomendations witout going over the 200 mark are welcome

Try this Macdaddy of a PSU calculator (for all the OCr's as well). Damn i just found it,sweet.Also i read that the OCZ Powerstream is alright for SLi but google. They are only 190euro for a 600w beatch.
