Hey guys, so I'm building a new gaming machine and I just opened up my current family pc to see if there was anything I could use (pc was very expensive 3 years ago, above $2k) and I discovered an OCZ 700W gaming psu (it was branded with their fatality gaming branding.) Well, this is great! It'll save me $100 or so. However, the psu is NOT modular, and I was wondering if I could somehow get the case I'm buying (CM Storm Trooper) to look just as clean as if it had a modular psu. I really do want my build to be really clean, and if this isn't possible I'll just buy a modular psu.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply! Looks like I'll be going that route then, just wanted to make sure there was enough space to do this! :) One last question: Is there a chance the psu won't have some required connectors considering its three years old, or should I be good?

Thanks!

I can tell! It's been running excellent since the beginning of 2010 on my family pc, hopefully it stays running fine for a few more years!

Here's the complete parts list. The sole purpose is gaming, and of course some web browsing too :p I'm 16 and have been saving up for quite a while! Will be my first big purchase since I started working :)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (oc'ing to around 4.2, nothing crazy)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (oc'ing to 1866)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card
Case: Cooler Master Storm Trooper ATX Full Tower Case
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Quick Fire TK Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Cooler Master CM Storm Sentinel Advance II Wired Laser Mouse
Monitor: Asus VS248H-P 24.0" Monitor

The reason I didn't go with an SSD and a monitor that is less expensive then you'd expect with a build like this (it's great value though, friend has one) is because it would take another few weeks to make the money, and I talked with my mom and since she's awesome, she agreed to buy me an 840 pro and a better monitor for dual monitors for christmas. (did I mention she's awesome? :p)

Thanks again!
