[Build Help] Compatibility and Cost Help

[Littlelumos]

I like to play games, stream and record videos for YouTube. I am building a newer, better PC from scratch and would like some help, I wouldn't like you to redo my whole build.

 

HERE IS MY LIST OF THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE CHECKED BEFORE I PURCHASE THEM:

 

I have already bought a SanDisk 240Gb SSD and am not sure that I need a hard drive as well.

 

Is this case compatible (CiT Invader 12 cm Gaming Case - Red: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories).

 

I also here are 2 PSU's and I would like to know if they are good and compatible:

CiT 750W 12cm Silent Fan Power Supply - Gold Edition: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon Warehouse Deals

CiT 600W Power Supply Unit with PSU and Dual 12V Rails - Black Edition: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon Warehouse Deals

 

I also found a cheap motherboard that I am not so sure about.

 

This is my current build status, excluding the case and psu as they may have compatibility issues:

NIGHT THEME SINNER!

 

And don't buy CIT, get a cheap Fractal Design CORE case and at minimum a Corsair CX or Coolermaster power supply. CIT stuff is literally arse.

[OAcesync]

Do not buy anything from CIT and those PSUs are very bad

 

Like the guy above said look a cheap Fractal Design case like the Core 2300/2500/3300/3500 or the NZXT S210/S340(if you can afford) or a Corsair SPEC 01

 

Those PSUs are of poor quality and it's never good to go with a low name brand or no name as it could fry your system and that case is old designed and bad. I would only get PSUs from

Corsair

Coolermaster

Antec

EVGA

Thermaltake

Fractal Design

Seasonic

Silverstone

Be Quiet

Enermax

XFX

Not great, but passable (friend has one, no problems yet)

 

 

 

Cases (cheap, mid, alright)

Cheap windowed case would be the Corsair Spec 01 it's an good case for budget build

 

Best cheap PSU I can think of is the Antec Current High Gamer which is great quality PSU or literally anything from Seasonic they make the best PSUs

If you're unsure about your PSU then go here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/404921-strmfrmxmns-psu-whitelist/

The motherboard may need a BIOS update before the i5-4460 can be used. According to the MSI web page for the motherboard BIOS level 2.5 or above is required for Haswell Refresh cpu.

 

The AvP case is ATX so any ATX, mATX, or mini-ITX motherboard will fit in it.

 

BitFenix Neos White/Red ATX Mid Tower Case is a decent case with a bottom mount psu. It comes in a couple of different colors.

 

Kingston HyperX Fury White 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory is just a few pennies more and offers slightly better performance.

 

Don't buy an hdd unless you need one. If you do, try to get a 1TB model.

 

http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/aerocool-integrator-600-watt-psu-review/7/ says some not bad things about the psu in the OP. Like the author I would caution against getting such a low end unit unless absolutely necessary. A bad psu can shorten the lifespan of various electronics. It can lead to instability and random glitches.
