What power supply/case should I buy?
Hi, I am going to build a gaming PC and I am sort of on a low budget. (Around under 600 dollars) Here is what I am buying:
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drives
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284
XFX HD-487A-ZHFC Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150394
LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-04
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231166
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103471
BIOSTAR TA790GXB A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX ATX AMD Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138143
I'm getting that processor and motherboard as a 'package deal' for $209.99
My total with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811162042 would be $584.94
But I am thinking maybe I should get a different case/PSU or a different PSU?
So I was thinking maybe this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052
or this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147118
I'm trying to keep my budget around under $600, remember that. So if someone could just tell me what to do or buy, or anything I should change, let me know. I'm pretty satisfied as of now with the build besides the case and power supply. Help is very much appreciated.
Thanks!
