You picked very well, the case I suggest is a nzxt s340 or if you have more to spend the h440

Evga psu's are the only psu anyone should buy right now, they are by far the best and cheapest for what you get.

The 500B is completely underwhelming, and that statement itself is untrue.

Rosewill, Bitfenix, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, XFX and Corsair are all offering good PSUs at the moment, some better than EVGA.

The Fractal Design Define R4/Arc Midi R2 or Corsair 230T should all fall under $100.

The b2 is far from their most fantastic but at the price point it's still amazing, if you move up to the g2 series however it literally stomps everything on the market at it's price point. 

 

By the way, the b2 series has the same if not less ripple than the corsair rm series. Their gold rated series which is vastly more expensive.

B2?

 

I am talking about the 500B. It's not that great. Not that bad though. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=351

 

And I never said the RM are particularly good, in fact they're quite shit. But Corsair still make other good PSUs. And what's with the name calling? I didn't even try to come at you. All I am saying is that EVGA aren't the only PSU maker worth considering. The Bitfenix Fury is competitively priced considering the cables. The Corsair HXi series has intelligent software, allowing you to track power consumption. The XFX ProSeries is nearly, if not as good as EVGA's G2 series. PC Power and Cooling make some of the only white units, as do NZXT and Fractal Design (and they still perform quite well.)

Usually I double check on reviews before posting, I was looking at the b2 750 instead of the 500b which I apologize for, as I was hasty. But yeah the the 500b is still not bad. I really just mean at the price point. the xfx is just about as good as the g2 but still more expensive.

A case is an investment, its a part that can be used over and over in future builds.

 

Look into the Phanteks Enthoo Pro($99) or Luxe ($149)  Two of the best cases that money can buy.

 

For PSU, the EVGA 500B isn't bad, but I think for similar money there is better out there.

 

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 - $45

 

Rosewill Hive 550W - $54
