Cases??? What's the benefits of these more expensive cases? are they just better use of the room inside them?
Cable management. Rosewill offers a nice option at $50 that has cable management. I think it's called the challenger

well cases are one place where 'aesthetics' and such come into play. it's the thing you're gonna be looking at

do you want a 'plain' case, or something that looks like a spaceship? do you want a window and colored lights? plastic or metal? in general if you're gaming, you're probably gonna want something with good 'air flow' and/or a lot of fans

I recently got an Antec Three Hundred Two

Managing space and ensuring you give it some room to breathe. I got a rather large case with a good amount of fans built into it. Not exactly pretty, but a fee extra drive bays and easy hidden places for cables. Make sure you think about them when u buy your case

Watch Dogs is such trash. The graphics even on ultimate are meh, it's all fukked up in 3 monitors, and it won't play sound through my headphones (:dead: other people are having this issue too).

Glad I didn't pay for this piece of shyt

I had to get a hack to get it to work in 3 monitors. I figured the sound problem out. I had to do some gymnastics with my sound card. shyt is unacceptable though; every other game plays fine with dolby digital live.

The game runs pretty well in 3 monitors on ultra though :ehh:

Too bad it's not fun (at least not yet) :yeshrug:

What program can I use to monitor fps with 64bit games?

Afterburner doesn't work for some reason
