I have until Monday to choose a case and PSU.

Main reason for both upgrades is that I have purchased an MSI GTX 560Ti Twin FrozR II 2GB and need a >500w PSU to power it, and a big case so that all my components don't get to hot (my current case is a tight squeeze to fit the GTX 560Ti)

So, I am thinking of this PSU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-600W-ModXStream-Power-Suppl...

But I need help choosing a good case.This is my first time buying a case so please help me find a good brand, with a good spacious case, with good airflow.

My motherboard is micro atx if this helps in anyway.

Obviously the case will need to have enough space for the GTX 560 Ti which is quite long, and the above PSU (link^) will have to fit in the case.

I would prefer to buy a case from this website, so please check it out for me: http://overclockers.co.uk/

Thank you very much in advance :)

*** I should have mentioned; my budget for both case and psu is no more than £120***

check bitfenix cases

Just had a look, they seem decent.

What about Antec cases? Are they good/ will the PSU that I linked above fit in them?

I've made 4 builds with this now: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA...
and It still amazes me how good the quality is, considering the price.

Yes the fans are not of exceptional quality, but the overall look and feel of this case is top notch.

I like that one :) 

Anyone got some good things to say about this case? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA...
I prefer it over most of the others to be honest, mainly due to the LEDs :pt1cable: 

Will my GTX 560Ti fit in this case (the cooler master one)

it's a good case and can often be found at a good price, your gtx560ti would fit with no issue. Most cases can be bought or upgraded with Bue LED fans so that shouldn't be a major factor in your decision but looks should. cases are one of the few PC parts where looks matter.

Yeah I agree that looks are a factor when buying a case.

CAn you confirm that this PSU:http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-600W-ModXStream-Power-Suppl... will fit into the Cooler Master case?

If it does I will go ahead and buy both the case and psu :D 

Thank you for your help
