I am currently building a high spec gaming PC... 
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Gold GX XTC Series
£139.95
Viewsonic VX2025 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor
£259.95
Asus ATI Radeon EAX-X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO
£259.95 (Is this the best available atm...will it last me a long time without having to buy another one?)
Hiper Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU
£54.95
EDIT: Is this gfx card "Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB" a better choice and how less powerfull is it compared to the other one?
I allready have a decent mobo and HD and a decent enough cpu (2.3ghz i think).
I have started off by buying the case. And i think to most of you i have made quite a bad desicion. I ordered it last night, the Cooleraster Wavemaster.
I have heard that it has bad (or very bad) cooling, and without water cooling it is like an oven inside
But the problem is that i dont want water cooling...
So what would be a decent solution to my problem?
I also heard that Yewen (i think) made a hole in the bottom of his case and installed a 120mm fan there and this made the case quite abit cooler, is this a good way and if so how did you do it?
Please give some suggestions of how i could keep this case at a nice safe temperature running at this spec, as i dont get much money often and cant afford to get another case.
Oh also for this price could i get a better spec?
Thanks.
