Hi I really need help finding the right case and psu for my build thks :).... my specs are intel i5 4690k, asus maximus z97 vii hero, g.skill ripjaws x 16gb, samsung 850 evo 250gb, corsair h100i, gigabyte gtx 970. (What psu/wattage should I get for it and what case should I get) For the case my budget is anything $100 or less and for the psu it is $120 and less. Thank you ( I will be overclocking)

Can you provide a link to where you are buying from? As I stated in your other thread here, different regions can affect availability and pricing. What you can get for $120 USD may not be the same as what you can get for $120 AUD.

 

A quality ~500w PSU would be plenty for your setup. The Seasonic G 450/550w, XFX XTR 550w, Antec Edge 550w, Rosewill Capstone 450/550-M, Cooler Master V450/550, etc. The Corsair CS450M/550M would do too if you can get it for a good price (a bit lower than all of the other options).

 

Of course, if you have any plans to SLI, a good quality 650w would be plenty as well. The Supernova G2 750w is often price very well here in the US.

Oh ok, the US. If you can buy from Amazon, the Seasonic M12II Bronze 620 Evo is price very well atm for $55 (look at "Other Sellers on Amazon" on the right side). http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-M12II-620-BRONZE-SS-620GM2/dp/B003HE260I

 

It's a good entry level PSU and would be more than plenty for your setup.

 

For a little more, Rosewill Capstone 550w is a better build/performing unit than the Seasonic with a longer 7 year warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068

It, however, lacks modularity.

The XFX XTR 550w is a good as well (fully modular and has semi-passive cooling mode). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068

 

Spending more would result in me recommending the Supernova 750w G2 (although the 850w unit is priced the same if you take Mail in Rebates into consideration). They are the best build unit out of all unit mentioned thus far but are overkill especially if you aren't going to run an SLI configuration.

 

Those are my recommendations for your setup.
