Midtower case with 500w PSU for max. 70$

EA8998 · Jul 21, 2013

Hello!
I'm looking to buy a larger case for my computer (because the current one is tiny, will only fit LP cards) that wont break my bank. It should have a sufficient PSU for a 7850 (500W maybe?) and that it would fit my current motherboard on it (imedia S3840).
Thanks to all whom might answer!

I think your budget is too low to get something with acceptable performance. This is as low as Id go

JackNaylorPE :

I've seen some cases with integrated PSU's that come with the case itself. Are those good or rubbish? And if they're not good, does the case you linked fit my mobo?

jinayhvora · Jul 21, 2013

yes, the bundled PSUs are generally rubbish

So what would you guys' suggestion be if i'd have a budget of 120 dollars/euros or, preferably even less for a PSU and a midtower case that would be ok for my system and a 7850

jinayhvora · Jul 21, 2013

u need to spend atleast 60-70$ for a quality 500W PSU and the rest u can put in a case

jinayhvora :

Would you have any suggestions of what i should buy?

jinayhvora · Jul 21, 2013

jinayhvora :

I'm from Finland.

here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gW5C in US prices 120$
Seasonic is one of the most reliable PSU companies and this one is fully modular
also the case is quite decent for its price

jinayhvora :

The PSU you linked to me is 80 euros in finland so it is on the expensive side. I found this PSU and it is only 60 euros. http://www.silentrig.com/product/713/xfx-core-edition-pro-550w (finnish site).

jinayhvora · Jul 21, 2013

yes that one is also extremely good and manufactured by Seasonic, go for it

EA8998 · Jul 21, 2013

How useful is a modular PSU? is it worth the extra price?

jinayhvora · Jul 21, 2013

cable management is very easy in a modular PSU compared to a regular one, but that's about it

EA8998 · Jul 21, 2013

jinayhvora :

Should i spend and extra 20 euros for a modular PSU?

EA8998 · Jul 21, 2013
