nzxt source 530 or corsair obsidian 450d

gadgetfreak77

hi,

    I need a case for around 100$. I need good build quality and most bang for the buck. I am ready to add a few extra fans other than those included. Which among these 2 is better? Else suggest better cases.

I also need a mid range PSU. I run a high end machine with i7, sapphire r9 290 tri x OC and 6 sata drives.

Obsidian 450D is the better of those 2 cases but if you want more silence then get the H440 or Define R4. If you prefer more performance with watercooling options then look at the Arc Midi r2. 

 

For midrange PSU: CS550M if you do not plan to CF, EVGA G2 850W if you plan to CF that card.

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

H440 is a great case. Quiet and sexy and usable. Should work well with your build.
