Hello, I'm building a new rig and looking for a bit of advice. It's my first time, and I want something that will run most games at a decent level (I'm not too fussed about super extreme graphics!), work well as an HTPC and as a music production workstation. I haven't included a dedicated soundcard as I will be using an external audio interface. I'll be putting in an SSD at some point, just want to wait till the 128GB ones come down a bit in price.
Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor
Samsung SpinPoint F3EG Desktop Class 500GB
Sapphire RADEON HD 6870 Graphics adapter
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3-ISSD Mobo
LG BH10LS30 Super Multi Blue
£25 - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
£43 - Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Comes in at under 630 atm, will be recycling peripherals etc. Any ideas on a decent case? And I'm assuming I wouldn't need an insanely powerful PSU? The main idea is to get a pretty quiet PC with a bit of power behind it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
