New matx build, some advice needed please

It should be enough, its the Amps on the 12v rail that are important.

It has 45A which is bang on the mark for a 550W PSU.

A 600/620/650W PSU wont hurt and will provide more amp should you oc the CPU+card.

Have you any recommendations for a 650w fully modular psu?

Have been reading and pondering over the Corsair Carbide 240 case.

I'm not entirely certain its the case for me. For one it doesn't have space for a ODD (I cant believe I didn't see this ;-)) which is essential for me as I need to fit a blu ray drive. I do have an external one but if I'm going back to a desktop I think I would rather have one fitted. I am also a little concerned about how close the side panel is to the gpu power cables. Also that fiddly thing that holds the graphics cards in place looks a bit flimsy too.
 
BitFenix colossusM has a door and a external drive bay, but you cant have a water cooler rad in the roof and drive at the same time.

Nice case that.

I don't particularly want a case that has a side window but the ability to fit an odd and hydro h100i gtx would be nice.
 
All I know is I want the case to be smallish in size. I'm not that fussed if its cube or tower design but it does have to look sleek ie something that wont look out of place in a living room. I don't want one with a window either.
 
stulid you're gonna tell me off here :D but I think I might go for a mini itx board instead. All the other components will remain the same though with a possible slight change on the Hydro in order to fit it into the case.
 
 
Loving this case too - Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini ITX Case

I still would like to install the Hydro H100i GTX or similar
 
I am presuming I wont be able to fit a DVD drive to the Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini ITX Case if I am using a Hydro H100i GTX?

Judging by the picture the drive goes in the center and looks like it fits.

P.S I said a H100i fits, the H100i GTX im not sure about as the specs did say it was 3mm wider.

Definitely no window right?
