Wheres the PSU and Case?

jake12 · Jul 21, 2013

psu is 800w and case is the In-Win G7 Mid-Tower Gaming Case w/ USB3.0 and EZ Swap HDD Dock

What's the brand and model of the psu?
Do you already have the psu and the case?

Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready and i am about to order it off of cyberpwerpc.com so they will build it for me

Any reason why you don't want to build it yourself? You can get a much better system for your money.
I feel like that is a generic psu. That means it is low quality and I would highly recommend against it. A low quality psu has a higher chance to blow up on you.

oh alright well if u could possibly tell me ur entire system? i really do not want to overpay.

realchaos · Jul 21, 2013

Budget?
Do you need a monitor/os/keyboard/mouse?
Are you overclocking?

I can stir up a system for you after you answer those questions.

haha alright. 700$. no monitor, 64bit windows 7 home premium,no mouse,no keyboard

-Overclockable if you add a future aftermarket cpu cooler.
-7870 is stronger than the 660

I mean, this build isn't tons stronger but you get a better quality motherboard, case, psu.
