What? No part 4, what the heck?

And not everyone buys the same "tower chassis/case"!

I have a Antec Three Hundred w/o Power Supply or fans!

And they don't have the rubber grommets for flush, tight cable management, so make a video with a Antec Three Hundred chassis regarding cable management.

Here's my specs:

Antec Three Hundred "mid-tower chassis" w/o PSU or included case fans!

GA-MA770T-UD3 rev.1.4 MB!

and a Ultra LSP 750 Watt Power Supply/ non-modular!

Cable-manage that!

I need to know!

why has this video got low fps?

@TJTutorails I just wanted to make sure that you knew, and didn't get a 1200 watt PSU because you thought that your CPU temp wouldn't rise above 20 C.

[TJTutorails]

@AnguisMortem No one mentioned, anything to do with a CPU?

[AnguisMortem]

@TJTutorails Your system runs cooler when you use a higher wattage, note how I said system, not CPU.

[TJTutorails]

I don't think you need a 850 watt psu, you might have gotten away with a 650

@TheAlbinoBoar Hmm, ok cool thank! I was thinking about upgrading to surround sound next summer. I picked up a set of Turtle Beach's the other day (DPX21) and they've got built in surround sound, but I think I'll hold off. Sound cards are expensive lol. I may do that with an HDMI. I made sure my monitor supports that and I'm pretty sure my gfx card does too (Probably getting Sapphire Radeon 6970). Anyway, thank you for the reply, I really appreciate all of them like this.

@9wrongnumber Well, from my calculations, not a lot. $50-$60 isn't much to get a decent graphics card for gaming. You might be able to get an ATI HD 5570 - which is actually a pretty decent card. You'll be able to play most games on that with low or medium graphics on a not-too-large screen. You'll also have no trouble watching hi-res movies and stuff.

My little brother needed a basic card, and I gave him one of those and he's happily playing Fallout 3 as I'm typing. That's my recommendation
