After a few months of research and hesitation I'm forwarding my first phase; GPU, Case and PSU.
I currently have an OEM h8-1211 (FX-6100, 300W PSU, hp angelica mobo, 8GB ram, 2TB HDD, DVD drive).
So want I want to do is replace the GTX650e (upgraded from 7570) by a Gigabyte R9 280x. But for that I need I bigger case, I chose the NZXT h230, mainly for the aesthetics. But also a bigger Psu, probably a Corsair CX600 (bronze) or the EVGA one (600w bronze too).
-I'm aware that FX-6100 should bottleneck the R9, guess what is the second phase...
Worries;
-Is there a way to keep the sd/usb reader from the OEM build into the new one (weird cables tied from that, I suppose I could use a front bay)?
-Does the Angelica mobo supports the 280x? And the PSU?
Does the mobo will support the case fans and the one(s) I could add?
What do you think of the case?
Any other thoughts?
Thank you for your help!
