Stick to elite 33x series. As it is bijli's overall built quality slided down over the months so doesn't make sense spending 1.5k for that.

I am having a change in plan... I am getting interested in CM 690... but am confused whether to go for all black or not... and what's the difference between them... Please quote the price too...


Or in case I go for CM elite 33x series... will they easily accommodated 5770 or other bigger cards??

And is there any difference between elite 334 & 335... feature wise or cost wise...

Get this config:-

i5 i750 2.66Ghz @ 9.8k
MSI P55 UD2 @ 6.8k
4GB DDR3 1333MHz Transcend @ 5k
CM Elite 330(side transparent) @ 2k
Sapphire HD5770 1GB GDDR5 @ 10.9k

And what's the max resolution of ur monitor? HD5770 can max games at 1600x900/1680x1050 and maybe u hav to tuen AA down(to 0 or 2x) for 1920x1080...
