The case is a stand-in case until I find one I really love. Recommendations are welcome.

 

1. Budget & Location
New Zealand, $3000 NZD but if I can do this cheaper, or better for the same price then let me know.

 

2. Aim
Web browsing, gaming, streaming, video/photo editing

3. Monitors
I currently have an old HP 2310i - I'd love to swap this out for something better.

4. Peripherals
I'd love an the K70 RGB, but I do have all of the peripherals I need so it's a total luxury.

5. Why are you upgrading?
I've been meaning to upgrade for the last year, and when my desktop died on me I took that as a sign. I need a new PC.

Hi there,

I'd personally go with a 650W PSU. It should be enough to power up your future rig and even give you some headspace for overclocking. Kudos for choosing the WD Black. This line is optimized for demanding applications and Western Digital recommends it for gamers and creative individuals. If you choose to add a SSD it could reduce loading times, but shouldn't directly affect your gaming performance.

Hope you'll have lots of fun with your new PC!
