Case and PSU for Black and White build

Hey all,

I want to build a 1080p60fps pc that is in black and white theme. As a start - I know that I'll pay extra for many things just to get black and white... This is what I came up with https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Verrm/saved/7F9LkL

Question in this forum is:

1. Is Corsair Carbide 400c White a good case for such build? I want to put Aerocool DS 140mm White 93.4 CFM 140mm Fans - 2 at the front and 1 in back. Does it makes sense?

2. Is EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply good for this build? Is it overkill/underperformer? The pc will probably take max 350-400W at load.

The 400C won't fit a 140mm on the back fyi. Get a 120 instead.

Thanks, I didn't see it, having 120 on back I might think about 2x120 in front also.. On the other hand bigger, but slower fans might provide similar airflow while being quieter...

Thanks, I'm still not sure I want a 550W version though. Any ideas on what wattage of PSU should I look for? I am new to PC building and while reading some articles I figured 550W will have headroom enough. But it is my newb opinion only...
