Case + PSU

richjs · 17 Jan 2007 at 22:15

Hey, I have less than £100 to spare after choosing the parts for my PC, I was wondering what you would suggest for the pricerange (nothing above, a lot less would be much preffered).

I was thinking along the lines of Antec Sonata + PSU, but I'm sure there must be a better combo for around that.

Cheers!

Specs (quick overview)
6300 (will be overclocked to ~2.8)
2GB OCZ RAM
256mb 1950pro ATI
2 Sata drives
Gigabyte DS3 965P
1 DVD RW
1 DVD

Problem is I'm already overbudget

Reckon that PSU on the Antec will support the 6300 overclocked a little (maybe to 2.5-8)? Because if it will I'll probably stick with that unless i can find cheaper.

Is this better or worse than your suggestion (purely spec wise, not money wise) linky

Hrm, still cant really afford £100, any cheaper possibility?

I've got a £15 case from [a competitor!] from 3+ years ago, sure it's a case, just it's an awful one lol, really, really, really want rid of it, and I'm also going to sell on the old PC so it's not really an option.

I got offered the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-040-AN for £55 new off a mate who ordered double by mistake (fool). Just wondering whether its worth the extra £15 + case cost

God, why cant we all be rich eh!
