PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
The Lexa S has slightly less space (which may be an issue as I may get a 7850 instead, not sure) but more fans and rubber feet for PSU. If I got 302 I'd likely buy 2 fans, 1 for front and 1 for side. What are you opinions on these cases, and any recommendations regarding these or other similar priced cases would be appreciated. Not above £65 though please! Thanks!

The PSU should definitely be enough by the way, shouldn't it?

NZXT tempest 410 is better.
The psu is enough,though xfx is more efficient.

Corsair cases are very quiet and solidly built.
