okay, so i'm tired of having to play most games with less than 50 avg fps.... shit gets annoying. Therefor i;m going to upgrade my pc in the coming months. but i'm only going to upgrade it to really nice up to date things.

This is what i am looking at buying

*I would use my original nzxt apollo case, but the front usb ports are broken, and i was going to buy new fans but i figure what the hell, instead of reaplacing that shit just buy a new case.... so yea!

I already have a 200 gb hard drive that is perfectly fine. Also when installing the processor, do i need that adhesive stuff or what ever it is?

would you recomend getting 2 of these gfx cards or no?

Is there anything else i really need? because i already have a working hard drive and i think i listed everything else ^above in order to get the comp working properly

One more thing. Do i need to completely wipe off my hard drive so that it is blank and w/o windows xp? And then plug everything in and install windows? and how do i install windows again if i do not have cd, but i have a cd key?

Grand total of $764.94 +S/H

thanks guys <3

Newegg.com - XCLIO A380BK Fully Black High Gloss Finish SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

yea i thought about that and i am actually looking at this case^^^ its a full tower and i think it would move air through pretty good. plus im going to put another 120mm fan in the back facing outward so the front fan blows the air in and the one in the back blows the hot air out

here is another case that you may like if you looking for airflow, it also got pretty good reviews.
