hey guys built my first ever pc couple months ago and i feel its time to upgrade the cramped and ugly looking coolermaster elite 430. Was a decent starting case but need something a little less cramped and with better cable management.
were looking at:
Corsair 600t
Fractal xl
CM 690 ii
which of these would you recommend and if none can you link me to any alternatives. Will be using a single 5870 and dont intend to run a crossfire setup just yet. I like the look of the 600t and there is even a bundle on ocuk which includes a 600w psu which i also need as my standard one atm is not the best. Is 600w enough for a 5870? in the future i will need to get a new mobo and everything else for crossfire so no point spending lots of money on 800w+ psu's etc when atm i have no intention to run a crossfire config.
Will also mention i will be running either a h60 or h70 cooler in either case. Atm i really love the fractal aswell and seems like a solid case with plenty or space for future upgrades but i understand airflow is rubbish? what do you guys think?
cheers
Ricky
