Posted September 2, 2015 I'm gonna be completely honest here and say that I'm a virgin. A virgin in the art of PC building. * I've never built a PC before, nor have I ever given the process a huge amount of thought. However, it's gotten to the point where my prebuilt PC isn't doing me any favours, and I've been seeking an upgrade. I've assembled the parts that I've perused over in a list on PCpartpicker http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/rpbxJx What's troubling me is the fact that I have no idea whether the case is large enough to house all the components. It's also relevant to note I'm also considering this power supply as well, but I couldn't decide which was the better product. I thought that, before taking the plunge and purchasing all the components, I should run it by some peeps who actually know what they're doing! Any help is appreciated. Thanks! *and irl as well *single teardrop* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 2, 2015 I have a very similar system and I'm ok with 650 watt PSU. And any midi tower case should be ok.

Posted September 2, 2015 CX =/= HX That's a big exaggeration, the HX,AX and RMi are actually good quality PSUs but everything else Corsair makes isn't that good SetupCPU: i3 4160|Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE|RAM: Kingston HyperX Blue 8GB(2x4GB)|GPU: Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB|PSU: Seasonic M12II EVO 620W Modular|Storage: 1TB WD Blue|Case: NZXT S340 Black|PCIe devices: TP-Link WDN4800| Montior: ASUS VE247H| Others: PS3/PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
