GTX 560 or GTX 650

[toocoded]

I cant afford a proper workstation card so I have to go with budget gaming card.
I do a lot of large format graphic design and motion graphic rendering therefore, dont need any ti versions of anything. Let me hear some recommendations.

Im leaning towards the 560.

SO I got me the 560 SSC...

Not sure if I should start another thread (admins feel free to advise) but what are your thoughts on these two cases.

Corsair Carbide 500r: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811139009

I love the 500r because of its features, functionality and its stylish mature looks (dont look too gamer oriented and it looks sharp like fresh shave and a new tuxedo), I'm just upset it doesn't have hot swappable drive bays.
The HAF-XM on the other hand is very functional in every way just like the 500r and it has not 1 but 2 hot swappable drive bays... thing is, I dont like it's looks that much (like a college dorm room ornament).

What are your thoughts?

Well you didn't mention what you thought about the 560 you got, but your not complaining so I figured it's doing it's job(I know mine is).

Anyways, I would go with the 500r since it looks so much like my Antec 900 case, or maybe you could go with the Antec 900 itself as it's much cheaper and extremely silent and works just the same(maybe even better).

I had my wife get it for me as well as some other components as she is travelling. I'm building a brand new rig so will definitely update you guys as I go along.

I am a fan of the Antec 900, however, the 500r (based on reviews) is a much more flexible case to work with in terms of cable management, airflow, front panel and other stuff, so I will have to disagree with you on it working just the same or even better. I must agree that the Antec 900 price-point is very attractive

If the 600T was'nt so damn expensive (and I dont know why?) I would have gone for it. Maybe if it was worth it I would jump for it but nah... too damn expensive.

I made up my mind and ordered the 500r. I cant wait for it to come.. Yess
