Mainstream gamers that run on a tight budget and want DirectX 11 really only have a few options on the Radeon HD 5xxx side of the fence, as NVIDIA offerings don’t start until $349. This is way more than most want unless they enjoy being on the bleeding edge of NVIDIA fanboy-ism. Luckily, ATI has a number of DirectX 11 video cards below the $200 price margin, and today we are looking at a reference Radeon HD 5770 from XFX that costs just $165.
The NZXT Hades is a great mainstream case with room for any video card on up to ATI’s 5970, plenty of massive high-CFM case fans, a nice simple look and high end features including three thermal sensors and screwless drive bays, all for $99.99. If you want airflow you’ll love the 5 fans as it a 200mm intake fan, dual top 140mm fans, a side 200mm fan, and a rear 120mm exhaust fan!
Geared to support gamers and high-end enthusiasts in their battle against excess heat, the Thermaltake SpinQ (CL-P0466) CPU cooler features 50 waved aluminum fins — shaped in classic cylinder figure – spirally arrayed around an 80mm 1600RPM fan. The patented fin design is said to provide great airflow and can help keep your processor and motherboard components nice and cool.
