Buying a new PSU and Case

For me a case is just a box. I am answering the PSU question.
EVGA supernova g3 650W

IMHO one of the best PSU's available.

Very good case and PSU the same one I use in my PC and never hear it at all.

The 1070 needs a 500 watt PSU

For the budget limited, I'd start looking at at the Seasonic S12 / M12 series and adjust upward based upon the case you want to get.

Seasonic S12 520 - $40 (9.7 jonnyguru rating) - Note that the Seasonic 520 watter is also sold as the XFX Core Edition 550 and Antec HCG

Seasonic S12 620 is a bit beefier and costs $48

The M12 is the modular version of the above

Seasonis M12 520 - $55

The M12 620 watter is outta stock but last week it was on sale so should be back soon.

Other models to look at would be the EVGA Gs, G2 and G3, Seasonic SSR, Antec HCG

As for the case .... this is harder to recommend as aesthetics is a personal choice. Phanteks has taken the Case of the year award homw from Computex for several years running. Their feature set us unmatched in many price ranges tho many are emulating their designs. And their fans are the best on the market.

If your building a box for an office, or for grandma to look at pics of the grandkids, I would agree the case is of little importance other than aesthetics. However, being able to fit you want in it, the ability to cool the components, the ability to route wiring without creating an unattractive bird nest of wires is usually of some importance in a work station or gaming box. And as was said already, aesthetics is an individual choice.

Of course fo those keen on showing off their build, the tempered glass models are on everyone's mind.

The Enthoo Luxe TG has spiked a bit of late and at $180, puts you at least $20above the $200 limit. If ya can swing it, it is an astounding case. Without the TG, the case is about $150

Th Enthoo Evolv is the case in everyone's mind of late.... on youtube there's a dozen videos calling it the "best case in it's price range and some even stating it "belongs in an art museum" for its aesthetics. The TG version is also about $180 ... the regular window version is $139 to $179 depending on color

The Enthoo Pro runs $80 - $100

The Enthoo Pro M runs $70 - $90 /. The Acrylic side panel model is $80 and the TG model is $105 or so



With Say $40 - $60 spent on the PSU, that leaves you

For that system I also give a thumbs up for enthoo pro m. The bigger ones are I think too big for what you need, but the pro M is a very roomy case for a midtower, and has very good airflow. If you can swing TG edition, looks even better. I also like corsair's 450D and CM's mastercase pro 5 for similar reasons.

bah .... I shuda provided that info

They are all the same width, depth is relatively unimportant and vary less than 2". Height wise the difference is up to a hair over 3". For the Enthoo Luxe however, this height provides one of its most important features. In many instances, the installation of radiator at the top of the case is hampered by interference with the Motherboard heat sinks. The Luxe provides an "attic" to install the radiator fans and accounts for most of its added height. The Evolv, currently Phanteks most awarded and most talked about case, is just 0.6 inches taller

Best case on the market ?

Enthoo Pro M
Dimensions (H x W x D) = 18.90" x 9.25" x 19.70"

Enthoo Pro
Dimensions (H x W x D) = 21.06" x 9.25" x 21.65"

Enthoo Evolv
Dimensions (H x W x D) = 19.50" x 9.25" x 20.10"

Enthoo Luxe
Dimensions (H x W x D) = 22.04" x 9.25" x 21.65"

Oddly enough, the Evolv is the only one that I don't have experience with. A user has had a planned build for over a year in a silver Evolv ... 1st put off waiting for the MSI Xpower Titanium Z270 MoBo and now waiting for the MSI 1080 Ti Seahawk

Rather partial to the Fractal Design cases as well as the offerings from Phanteks. The Focus G is/was less than $50. If you really just want tons of space the FD R5 is seriously huge for a mid tower and quiet besides.

Not gonna bother mentioning psu, everyone else already has.

Problem with evolv if you're going liquid cooling (and with a lot of other cases) is airflow. Fancy radiator of 360mm is nothing if you stick a giant panel in front of the intake (and outtake) fans and expect it to actually cool efficiently. It looks good but efficiency wise it really isn't. Well demonstrated in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6UAjQmg9Ho

At 2 cents, jay should be arrested for gross overcharging... in the midst of his review, he says he was an idiot and I can't help but agree. At the 3:29 mark we see his build with three fans on a radiator EXHAUSTING air out of the case. Anyone with the slightest knowledge about water cooling knows this is a huge no-no. Oh he had a horrible negative pressure situation... yeah big surprise. Install all radiator fans as intakes and there is no problem with this or any other case.

Um....he cannot make both top and front intake, that would be even worse, trying to stuff all that air into the case would create major turbulence and hotspots within. That's not efficient.

Says who ? What testa re you drawing on ? What tests were performed ? "major turbulence" and "hot spots" are mutually exclusive.

We use a fog machine (Chauvet 700) to test air flow. Test rig has two rads (420 and 280), 6 thermal sensors and 6 channel digital display accurate to 0.1C and can mount up to 16 fans. (10 rad and 6 case)

2 intake fans and 4 exhaust fans and one of those exhausts has no radiator or filter to restrict air flow ... .... great idea ! And he wound up with negative pressure ... Joe Pesci said it best here at 0:05

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUMM9W61vk8

He talks about all the tiny slots.... but its all about "open area" and a typical case with a 6 x 12 perforated steel panel has no more open area than this does.

look at a review from a respected source (11:45):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dnvpFZ64hI

I almost spit coffee all over my keyboard when he said "I changed the rear fan to intake" ... great idea !... lets take more dust and all all that hot exhaust from that 850 WATT PSU and suck all that right back into the case.

How are major turbulence and hot spots mutually exclusive? Turbulence traps hot air from exiting the case properly, thus creating hot spots. Is there a different definition from this?
I watched your video and while a good review of the itx version, it does not explain what thermal performance of this case is which is the question here.
As for the test you mention, you are talking about 16 fans. Presumably then this is a completely different case and you have plenty of both exhaust and intake fans to even out the airflow, so you're not running into the same issue.
The video I linked he talks about reversing the exhaust fan because at that point he's desperate, as the temps are pretty high and of course it doesn't help. Yes he also has negative pressure issues, but as you see, this case doesn't give you many options. How is running both radiators on intake, with only one exhaust fan supposed to help? Where is the flow?

To the original poster, you have corsair's cx series on there which should be ok as a budget pick, though bronze rated and not my first choice. Also,
ako mozes da nadjes nekoga ko putuje redovno u hrvatsku, da ti donese psu sa sobom, to bi bilo bolje rijesenje. Ovdje je shipping jeftin, a cesto su cijene iz nekog razloga jeftinije za elektroniku nego sto bi bile tu lokalno. Ne znam zasto, ali znam da sam cesto nosila dijelove ljudima preko bare, upravo radi ovog razloga. Ako ne mozes nikoga da nadjes i neces da tako dugo cekas na to, corsair-ovi su ok.
