Anyone have any other case recommendations? I love the Prodigy case but the fact I wouldn't be able to crossfire in the future does put me off it slightly

Those builds look great

It's all down to personal preference when it comes to cases. I like this one for a similar price:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Carbide 300R Mid Tower Case - Black £64.99
Total : £76.09 (includes shipping : £9.25).

The 'Core' edition of the Shinobi is not supplied with any fans or front inserts.

Get this version or the 300R instead.

ok so this is the PSU I have.

Will it fit into the prodigy?

So my PSU won't fit in the prodigy

This means I need to buy a new PSU any recommendations?
