get the psu first then the case when you can afford it.

the case is only a box for it to sit in at the end of the day whereas the psu is your pc's life blood.
 
nobody has a crystal ball....your obviously wanting to buy the case..... so by a case....
psu could be good for years yet...ultimatley its up to you but i know what i would do
 
done done and done after reading a few reviews and peoples comments now it makes me wanna just tear that psu straight out of my fugly case and throw it out the window and spit on it, i should listen to people more. cheers guys
 
well i had to lend money to (someone)
so now its more like £150 and well i want a decent case too and i need to buy something else for £50
so for £100 its not happening so im getting either one at the moment
 
Yeah its probably best to get a good reliable brand PSU fist, like chipps said the case just holds stuff the PSU powers it, and if it goes wrong could break stuff. Most new PSU's have like 5 year warranty now aswell (branded ones)
