Hi, this is my gaming build I am planing to buy, parts where changing for a 3 weeks already, since I read a lot of reviews, and I was thinking how to use my money best. I am already sure about all the parts, because they fit my needs by almost 100%, except psu and case. Case is a little bit pricey, I would like to go with like a 60 bucks case, but I can't find the case which will fit my needs. I want to buy case which is not so loud, and with a few fans and good airflow. I know my system should be cool already, but I want to keep my parts as cold as possible. So I found one in a 120$ range. But there are plenty of cases I don't know, so maybe some1 could recommend me a case from their own experience. Another thing - PSU, I am hitting 424W usage in my part lost @ pcpartpicker. I think this might add few more watts with those case fans, and maybe when ill be using external dvd/cd rw device (if I'll be using it). With a headphones, mice, keyboard and so on I still should fit in <450W I think. So I'll have another 100W (~20%) which I shouldn't be using. Since this PSU is high quality I believe. There shouldn't be any problems. Am I right?
