Hi,
So I currently have the coolermaster Eliete 430. I have 2 top 120mm, 1 rear 120mm, 1 side 120mm and 1 front 120mm blue LED fans in it, along with a push/pull config on the CPU (i5 2500k and CM Hyper 212 evo), and a Sapphire 7950 Boost (dual fan). It is extremely loud. I have my CPU overclocked to 4.4, and my 7950 at 1100/1425.
So I want to upgrade to a full tower case to help with airflow, cooling, and noise. I live in a small bachelor so I want it to be quiet, I also want a side window with a side fan. And from what I've gathered having a side window and a big side fan is a lot to ask. Ideally, I would also like a fan controller, but as long as its quiet it doesn't really matter.
Now I have looked at the HAF 932 Blue (because i want lighting on all or most pf the fans, but the window is small, and I have read some shady reviews about the airflow on th fans). and the Storm Trooper (full of 120mm fans which in my experience have been very loud although it has a controller).
So, my question is what should I get? I would rather not go above $150 on this case. Looking for peoples experiences with cases and recommendations! I'm very open to other options!
I am also looking at a new power supply. When I originally built my rig (as a noob) I bought from what I thought as a known and trusted supplier and it turned out not to be so, so I ended up getting a garbage power supply (currently have an Ultra LSP 650 powering my pc, which scares me to death).
Any recommendation of something good that could power Crossfire (future) and my other hardware would be great. I looked at the TX750 and HX750 (not sure if i want to go modular yet or not, does it really matter when you can hide the cables behind the mobo tray anyways? Or should I go with an 850 to be safe?
I'm looking for the best bang for buck I can get here, any help is appreciated!
