Long time reader, but I don't post much!

I'm embarking on my first build and need some help on choosing a good case.

The case needs to be able to hold and cool the following:

Q6600 G0 with Ultra-120 Extreme heatsink
EVGA 8800GTX
1x WD Raptor X 150gb
2x Samsung T series 500gb

I've been looking into the SILVERSTONE TJ09-B, but I really don't want to spend that much on just a case. If it comes down to it I am able to, but would prefer not too. I also like the antec P-180 and antec nine hundred. I've looked over the 8800gtx fit thread and just need a little more reassurance on it. Thanks for any help!
 
you want to save big money and apply it somewhere else? My son who has always been a big time LIAN LI fan boy , just got this case after reading about its cooling power. Considering you have a q6600 in your build, this would be ideal. Do not be scared about the low price. I was shocked how beautiful it is. Big, quality and unbelievable cooling options alone make this case a hit.

Do you know off hand if my heatsink or 8800 will interfere with the side fan. Besides that it looks like a very good case.

Sorry for some many question, I just want to make sure things are right before I purchase everything.
 
The side has 2 places for 120mm, Your video card will be fine but you HS will not allow you to. My son uses Scythe mine and he can not use a fan there. No biggie though. He loves this case. He has 6 Yate loons in there ( if your interested in Yate loons , buy them from Petra`s. They have the real ones.
