What PSU/Case

[RobPercival]

Ok a quick question......

My System:
i7 980 (non x) @4.4ghz
6gb HyperX 1800+ Ram
2x MSI 660ti OC1 SLI
2x Intel 180gb SSD's RAID 0
Gigabyte G1 Guerilla
1x Samsung F3
Intel Extreme Cooler ((works surprisingly well)

Basically I need a new case and PSU and was looking for recommendations based on my current hardware.

Budget is about £300 for the 2 items.

Thanks in advanced guys

Hows this?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seasonic X-Series 850w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £159.95
1 x Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black £111.98
Total : £285.43 (includes shipping : £11.25).



The case seems to be very popular on here at the moment.

Hmm,

PSU looks good, was looking at that and the HX860i on scan...

The case on the other hand... I need something more standard as my outwards space is quite limited, What do you think about the antec 1100/corsair 600t/Fractal R4...

My thoughts on the three cases.
Antec = I owned a P160 for 3 months and hated it, I'm sure the 1100 will be a lot better, I don't like the look of the case personally but one mans poison is another mans meat.
Fractal = Good cases, but shocking build quality & flimsy packaging, the main Reason OCUK no longer stock them.
Corsair = The 600T is quite wide, I'd suggest another model in the range. have a look for yourself.

Out of that lot I'd go for the 550D, I would say it would be the closest to the Fractal R4 (bit more expensive though)

Ok so I have ordered the Silverstone Strider ST75F-G Evolution PSU (750W), the reviews all looked very promising...

As for the case I'm really struggling....

I'm leaning towards the 650d but am a bit put off by the age and lack of usb3.0 via header....

I have a 650d, and have ordered an adapter for the usb 3.0 header. I will let you know (if i remember) how it goes.
