I don't know about that particular case, but a few months ago, I built a computer for my church using a Xigmatek case, and out of the undamaged box, there were some broken plasic tabs.  This one says it all aluminum but who knows until you see it.  The other issue was that it felt really cheaply made.  I built a similar computer using an antec case of the same cost and it had much better build quality.
 
Just something to think about.

Folks... Please see this link (Link) for Multi-Monitor Vram usage...
 
My advice... Any GPU over 2G vram is needed for surround and 3D. But not for single monitor systems at this time. Of course this will change over time... So time becomes the issue, not to mention potentially wasting money on to much Vram. Because by the time you can use it a new DX version or what not is out and your cards may have the Vram to do it, but not the tech to take advantage of it.
 
BTW... Many folks have given you good answers. My input would be to buy cards based off of your monitor(s) needs and all the released games of today. Predicting the future off of marketing hype spun by the companies selling the game, = disappointment almost every time

Sleepee

Wouldn't he be better off going for a P67 setup? Sure, he'd limited to only two video cards, but the processing power of an overclocked i7-2600K is nearly unmatched.


Not if he gets a board with nf200 chipset!!

I think I will go with the 800d case over the xigmatek. For processor I will listen to everyone and get the 960. Just to ask one more time to be shure, the evga 4way sli mobo Will fit in the 800d without and mods?
 
P.S. Thanks for the great help so far

The 800D does not accept the XL-ATX form factor according to specification, and it only has seven expansion slots.  The similarly priced Lian-Li PC-P80 will fit it, plus it has much more airflow and an aluminum construction.
