need some answers.

Hello dear readers,

 

I'm new into building pc's, but using the power of the Internets, I came up with a PC partpicker list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zds2zy

but, I have some questions, that I would like to be answered:

- is the case big enough for all the components?

- is the case friendly for new pc builders?

- if not, what case do you recommend to a beginner?

- is my choice of power supply any good?

- if not, what would you recommend to a beginner?

- i'm looking into using multiple hard drives, does my power supply support that?

- does my power supply have the right voltage for my location? (I'm from the  Netherlands, Europe)

 

some notes:

I want to re-use my hard-drive and dvd-rw from my current computer, and I already have a legal copy of windows 7. I might want to add more hard drives in the future, but not from the start.

 

thank you for your time reading my post, and also for answering my questions.

I'd get a 650W power supply jus to be safe, the price difference isn't much.

And yes, the case is fine.

I agree with this but maybe not a 650, but i would get at least a 550 maybe a 600.

I would go with this Antec over the Corsair.

Any reason why? I personally think Corsair makes better PSU's

Corsair doesn't make power supplies. They just slap stickers on them.

 

Personally, I'd go with the Corsair, but that's because I don't know anything about the Antec one.

INTEL CORE i5-7600K | ASUS ROG STRIX B250i GAMING | CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT LT 16GB | EVGA GTX 970 SC | EVGA B3 550W
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB | CRYORIG M9i | BE QUIET! PURE WINGS 2| FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE NANO S

thank you guys for all the help! maybe this is kind of the wrong way of asking this but, at the moment, I don't have a credit card and I can only pay online with paypal, is there a site where I can buy all/most of the parts at once? I don't mind going to 3 differents websites to buy all the parts,  and I have decided to stick with the corsair power supply.

The Antec is a better power supply (Made by Seasonic) but it's your call.

The antec is better. They use Seasonic as the oem.

 

The Corsair is made by Channel Well who are nothing special.
