I will be overclocking the CPU later on whenever I get money for the Hyper 212 EVO and I will be overclocking the GTX 970 to around 1500mhz if that helps. Thank you.

the XFX is a better PSU and the EVO wont fit in a SPEC-03 or any of the SPEC series. Look at the 200R and 300R for good cases.

I have a hate for dull cases, windows and led cases are almost neccesary for me. It was either this or the Sharkoon T9 Value. On PC Part Picker it says it has room for 185mm? EDIT: It also says on PC Part Picker that the 212 EVO is compatible?

Don't forget that I will be overclocking, so will 550w be enough?

The SPEC-03 has a max CPU cooler clearance of 157mm, the EVO is 159mm. You're better off getting a decent case and blinging it up later.

You were the one that told me the xfx was high quality. Is the other one okay?

As in quality wise? Are they both tier 2 or whatever?

So should I get the silverstone or xfx? I feel like 550w of good power supply is still more than enough for what I am doing but then again I am a noob and you are the master.

With the lower power draw on the system with a 970 , 550 watt XFX is a good fit.

I appreciate your input but that is completely irrelevant and it is about the power supplies I have listed.

The XFX 550 is fine for what you want to do.
