Hey guys,

I need a case and psu capable of running this spec:

E5200
8800gts 512mb
4gb ram

Needs to be as cheap as possible please guys

Many thanks

any suggestions guys?

well any standard size case will run that, how cheap are we talking?

What do yo mean by cheap? £90 and good value or £50 and crappy

1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 430W V2 ATX '80 Plus' Power Supply (CMPSU-430CXUKV2) £31.99
1 x OcUK Flamingo FM-12A Midi Tower Case - Black/Blue £21.98

Probably the cheapest you can go without the chance of ruining summit by the PSU blowing up

Yeh just enough so the PSU doesn't blow. Case doesn't really matter

Thanks chris.

you must have a budget in mind on PSU costs?

remember the PSU is one of if not the most important part of any build

what cooler do you have? if its the standard one then any case that will fit your motherboard will do, if not then some cases might be too small

I have no budget per se, its just the left over components after a recent upgrade that i wanted to turn into a second PC so i was just looking for the bare minimum needed to get it running safely without it exploding

Cooler is a Freezer 7 pro.
