almost finished with buying parts for my secondary rig which will consist of:

i3 540
msi p55a-g55
prolimatech megahalems
corsair xms3 1600mhz 4gb
zotac gtx 260 216 core
wd 640gb hard drive

I now need a psu and case, I was thinking something like this:


YOUR BASKET
1 x Fractal Design Arc Midi Tower Case - Black £74.99
1 x BeQuiet Pure Power L8 430W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £47.99
Total : £122.98 (includes shipping : FREE).




my budget is £140 all together

I do prefer white cases, so a white case is more appealing to me :p
 
seems overkill for a secondary rig ? I'd just go with a Corsair Builder Series CX 430W and whatever cheap white case I could find something like a xigmatek Midgard White Knight £40 ish.
 
thanks :) not sure whether I should keep my old cm storm sniper and put the rig in that and buy a psu instead
 
I hate the rv03, may get the 500r and three orange led bitfenix spectres to replace the three xigmatek fans on my hardware labs rad and put the xigmateks in the corsair

I am buying that ocz psu on the mm for £35 and a gtx 260 of another forum's mm for £37, so my case budget is a little higher, at £113, which is creeping into nzxt phantom territory....
 
cleeecooo, how did you get the price match on your gtx 570s? (I've seen the 500r for £10 cheaper and the r3 for £72)
