Which Case & PSU?

hybrid · 3 Dec 2006 at 13:57

Hi all, decided to go for the plunge and i need to know which case and PSU is going to be the best.

Ideally it needs to be black and the PSU is to serve:-

-E6300
-2GB GeIL RAM
-7900 GS
-250GB HDD

Trying to keep it under 60 quid if possible?!

Can anyone recommend me anything?

Cheers. :-)

Thats gonna be really hard

Are you gonna overclock? are you gonna put in a D10 card at a later stage?

If so, you really need a 600w PSU - not cheap.

If you do buy cheap, them you might not get the real wattage it says on the box.

check out this site - V good for PSU reviews

I have a Thermaltake Toughpower 750w and it's a great PSU for the money. There's a review over at johnnygurus site. Avoid their Purepower series though, apparently they are crap.

And you need to narrow your case preferences down a bit before anyone can really help you...black is a bit vague.

Personally, I have an Antec 900 and I love it....and Lian Li are great if you can find an affordable case that suits your tastes from them.

for £60 you're not getting much

I'd spend more and go for
