Psu and case on a budget

[uksoldierboy]

Hi guys,
After recently upgrading my system i've been forced to use a few cheap and older parts which include:
A Tagan 900W 2 Force II and a NZXT 210 Elite case.
The case isn't really that bad but after messing about, trying to hide the huge amount of cables that come attached to the psu, cutting bits away on my case while trying to fit my H100, it's left me with a mess that i'm not happy with.
So...
I'm looking at upgrading both my case and psu on a budget of £100 Max and call on your help once again.

The Psu doesn't have to be Haswell compatible but if i can get a modular psu that would be great.
Case wise i'd rather something understated rather than something too in your face and if possible have room for a H100 and a window.
I've had a look myself and know it's going to be difficult on this sort of budget, i did with the idea of use getting a Psu and making a window myself as i don't mind the case.
But i wouldn't even know where to look for the parts i'd need.

Here's a pic of how it all looks now, be warned the cables are horrible

massive thanks to anyone that helps with suggestions or advice.

You might need £150-200 to get a psu and case that will fit the cooler.

unfortunately i can't add anything else to the budget though
I may just get a psu for now and a case in a month or too after a get a new card.

DO that mate PSU and a pack of zip ties will work wonders (and the benifit of that is you can get a good case of your choice and be done with it till the next upgrade lol

 

[uksoldierboy]

Think i will,
any help with a getting a decent PSU (don't need silly power) would be great.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-068-CS something like this next month or when ever you have the cash

 

[uksoldierboy]

definitely!
i was looking at the very same case a few months ago but in white.

 

[uksoldierboy]

Ah crap..
I just looked at the white Corsair C70 and couldn't help myself..
I have until 5pm to think of an excuse for the missus as to "why" i have a new case and "why" it was needed
I've gone with the case for now as it seems like it'll at least help hide cables a little better, the psu i guess is fine for now until i upgraded when i get a few other bits and bobs next month.. if i'm still alive that is..

 

[scotsdragon]

LOL its a nice case mate I have speced a few friends with it its nice and has ability to add second 240 later for just under a 100 its robust and looks damned good lol

 

[uksoldierboy]

Does look very good, the only thing i'm not fussed on is the grills on the side window, would much rather a plain window.

 

[scotsdragon]

Are you still alive soldier or has the missus ended you for buying a new case ? lol
