New computer case

[EST_FatBoy]

Hey everybody!

 

I am going to buy a new case and I have my eye on Cooler Master K350 USB3. Can anybody give me some info about it? Is it good? Can I put a LED stripe around it?

 

I want to do a little cable managing and am going to buy a new PSU also. What are some good 420W PSUs. Oh and I dont know nothing about PSUs soo, does it have to be 420W or can I get a 500W and it wont damage anything?

 

Then I also need to look for a new motherboard for it because I want to put a Cooler Master 212 Evo CPU cooler in it. One of my friends suggested me ASRock Socket 1155 Z77. Is it good? I live in Estonia so everything is almoust 20% more than it is on Amazon.

 

Thanks!

PSU don't affect performance just how much can be outputted for example if you add another graphics card its gonna need more power i would go with 500W to be safe :)

The Corsair Builder series is a great way to go for the low power output segment. LED strips can be added to anything you want and cooler master generally has a really good product.

Asrock makes pretty good budget boards. If you want to get a better quality board, I would recommend the Asus P8Z77-V LK.

Asrock boards are fine.  I run an Asrock z77 extreme 6 and have zero complaints.

Asus Socket 1155 P8Z77-V LX2 is like 10 euros more than the Asrock one so I will go with that.

I have a question again. I decided to go for Cooler Master K380. It dosent have a top mounting place but there should be a way to "ghetto" make it if I need in the future. So my question is, what do you guys think of it?

This is a very nice case imo. I don't think you can't ghetto mount a liquid cooler because the clearance between the cpu and the top is small. You might be able to ghetto mount fans on top by using double sided tape :)
