hey i was planning to buy a new cabinet with a budget of abt. 2.1k and cooler of budget 1.2k
so i narrowed down my search to NZXT Gamma
NZXT :: Unique. Unprecendented. Inspired - Gamma Product Detail
mainly b'coz of its cable mgmt. feature
and CPU cooler to Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler
Hyper TX3 - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply
of this i am pretty sure of buying the cabinet as mine is a crappy one which heats up the components
and need ur help guys regarding buying the cooler as my stock CPU fan makes noise and has rpm abt 5000-6000 RPM
Here are some pics !!

Ur temps seems to b normal...
Try playing games like crysis 2 or any graphics demanding games n post the temps...
Regarding cabby...
If cable management is ur main preference, get Gamma else get CM 430..

jerrin_ss5,IMO if u are worried about the temps,get a better cooler like hyper 212+ & nzxt gamma. hyper212+ CPU cooler will be a better upgrade & it can be used in future if u upgrade the cpu.
