What to get next

Ok atm i have

Antec 300 case
CX600 PSU
z77 ud3h mobo
i5 3570k
H60 w/c
OCX Agility 3 SSD 240gb
500gb generic HDD
couple of TB Externals if i need
8gig xms3 memory
GTX 670 FTW
2x 22" AOC Monitors

Now I'd like to be able to get a 2nd FTW sometime in the new year, so I'm assuming I would need a new case and PSU so I'm after a couple of suggestions on these (if my assumptions in my needs are correct, I'm no pro)

What's a good case for either £50 or £100, wouldn't mind something that allows drives just slotted in mine doesn't have that currently, and what would be a good PSU for a 2nd FTW, cheers.

The Antec P280 is still a good case even though its gone back up in price from its bargain £65 last week.

And this PSU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-000-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=

Here's a great PSU for you

What sort of cases do you like, sleek and modern? Aggressive looking?
I've got this, and I like it a lot

Out of stock at the min though.
Do you have an SSD? That's an essential upgrade if not.

Just checking all those links now and going to watch the video, I love the look of the Antect 300 Black, simple and slick, not too bothered about flashy lights n such

EDIT - yeah sorry forgot about the SSD I'll update OP

Is there any better cases at £100 that the P280? I figure if I'm going to spend 80 I may as well round it up lol.

Your best bet is to find video unboxings/reviews on Youtube to get an idea of what the case is like, I find it easier than just static images.

That Carbide 500R in Black looks slick as hell, kinda tempted as it's from Corsair to, one of my friends absolutely raves about his Coolermaster but Ithink it's a HAF X not to sure on the difference between that and a 'HAF' , gonna take your advise and check out some videos of unpackaging ,

I'll almost definitely get the 'XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver'' though.
