Which case to choose...
Last response: in Systems
Hi guys,
I am building a $700 - $900 desktop, and was thinking about using the Sonata IV case / PSU for $180 (with shipping). Is that too much money on just the case? I love the looks of it, and the fact that it has a USB 3.0 port on the front. I just don't know if it's worth the cost.
It's a video editing build, and a GPU is not going to be in this build, as we'll be using sandy bridge's quick sync technology that doesn't work with discrete graphics.

That's pretty steep for a case/PSU in a $1000 build. You might be able to squeeze it in at the top end of your budget if you want it bad enough. 15% is a good ball park for a case and PSU as a % of the overall cost of a system. Do you have any USB 3.0 external devices you need to use?
That 620W PSU is a large part of the higher cost and about double what a i5 2400 & H67 motherboard system needs.
