My computer not yet finished but i need something......

[Guest]

Hi i just bought the Intel core i7 930 for 200 bucks it was on sale at microcenter it came with the cpu cooler.
So now i just need a decent case not too big not too small i'm planning to get the EVGA P55 motherboard series. And a 650 WATT power supply. Is the power supply good enough for the power? Im not a heavy gamer so i'm not buying the x58 version. Is the motherboard good also im looking for computer parts under 200 bucks so yeah....

1) Good buy in the 930. The i7-930 needs a X58 motherboard(not P55). Any will do if it otherwise has the features you need. EVGA, Gigabyte, Asus, are the most popular.

2) A quality psu with 650 watts is sufficient to power any PC and the strongest single graphics card. Quality psu's are Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, PC P&C to name a few. Do not try to save on the psu.

3) I recommend the Antec SOLO as a good quiet case.

If you want a case with more cooling and "bling", the Antec 300 illusion model is good:

What are the rest of your system components, it could really help in letting us help you decide what parts are best for what you already have

The Illusion is a budget case and I would use it w/ up to a 550 watt PSU. See some of these:

At 650 watts i'd do this, at least until the 902 is back in stock:
