So I put together a build and all I am missing is the PSU and a case.

 

But the catch is I only have 100$ left (I live in europe in switzerland )

 

My build is :

MSI 7850 Twin Frozr 2gb

AMD FX 6300

MSI 970a-g46

4gb DDR3 1333 RAM

500gb HDD SATAIII

No DVD/RW or an SSD

 

I need a decent PSU for this build,and for the case i dont need anything special,just something with a good airflow.

(I found these components on www.digitec.ch and you can either try to find the combo,if its not a problem,or in a other shop from Switzerland)

you shouldn't try to save a lot o cash on the psu beacuse is a very important part of the computer specially if you are going to overclock

 

try to safe a bit more cash or buy a good psu and use yout motherboard box as a tested bed till you buy a case xD

a little over budget but its the best i could do for that cheap. 

 

save a little more so you can afford some better parts.it will help a lot and remember never go cheap on a PSU

Ok thx for the fast reply,I was wondering if corsair cx 430w would be enough.

A CX430 should be enough to power your system but you would be limited on expansibility in the future. But I would go with a CX500 just to be safe.

This^^^

 

Then spend any left over on either a really cheap new case or just a used one. As long as you aren't running huge overclocks or big air coolers, a more restrictive case should tie you over.

Save up for a bigger budget and get a branded well build and reviewed powersupply maybe the GS series from Corsair or the GX Series from CoolerMaster etc. , brands like those are the ones that you could trust. and my recommendation probably for you is the NZXT Tempest 410 try to catch it  at sales.

SeaSonic is probably a better choice, CX series is not made to last

I would save money to get a SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W psu which will last longer than the CX series and this can be open for future expandability.

Seasonic are well built. Most Corsair PSUs are actually just Seasonics.

As far as cases go why the 410?

Granted, I've used one and its a really nice case,

but ive also used a source 210 and when youre on a budget the 210 is one of the best options available.

Ok well still. Seasonic make great PSUs from what I've read.

Yeah, I know the list :)  It's all the old models.  Corsair moved away from SeaSonic.
