New build for Dad

[zanderman]

I just upgraded my computer and I have a bunch of spare parts that I’m going to use on a build for my Dad’s birthday. My Dad plays strategy, RPG, and FPS games. I’ll be getting him Civ 5, AoE 3, Starcraft 2, Skyrim, and some older CoD games. I need a case, power supply, DVD drive and monitor for this build. Case must be able to fit a reference XFX 5870 and 212+ pretty easily. This computer may be in their family room so it needs to be decently quiet and sleek looking. As for a monitor, I’m just looking for a decent gaming monitor. I would like it to have VGA/DVI/HDMI because he may want to hook up a cable box to it for watching TV. It doesn’t have to be 1080p but if it’s not much more than a smaller screen I’d like to do that. I will also need a basic speaker setup. Thanks in advance for your help!

If noise wasn't an issue, how cheap could I go on a quality case that would fit a 5870?

Going with the Antec P280. It looks like I didnt act fast enough on the power supply on amazon. Its in stock at newegg for the same price. Still worth it on Newegg or is there a similair deal on amazon?

 

[Dangman]

Still worth it on Newegg.
