Case and PSU recommendation

blademansw · 19 Mar 2013 at 11:27

Hi all

I planning a new system, and I am looking for a case and PSU recommendation. My budget is around £100-£130

I am going to be using the Intel Extreme Masters Z77 Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40GHz @ 4.40GHz DDR3 OC Bundle and the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 WindForce 2X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

I will also have a single 1 TB hard drive, and a single DVD rewriter of some description.

If it looks pretty with flashing blue lights that's a bonus

TIA

Welcome,

That looks a good spec so far:

Id reccomend:

The Zalman Z9 Case: £50

and the CX 500W Modular: £50(or £55)

I would recommended the Bitfenix Shinobi £40-£60 depends of what version you buy
and XFX 550W £55

I would to, unfortunately out of stock.

Hmm, I think for where I am going to have to put it, the Bitfenix is possibly more practical, although I much prefer the look of the Zalman.

Daft question, will the recommended c500W PSU's be sufficient for this board/CPU and GPU considering the overclock level?
