I'm still not sure about the PCU & Case choice.

Willing to spend around 200€ on both of them.

 

Any suggestions?

PCpartpicker says it will use 487W, but i might want to add a second 390 in the future?

So then it would require 762W, would it be smart to take that in consideration while buying the PSU?

EVGA G2 750w or 850w is a good choice for PSU. As for case I say its personal preference, search around and see which one you like.

My sig has a psu tier list in it, any from the top 2 tiers would do, 850 watt would be good enough for your system (if oc 750 if not), as for cases idk that is more personal tastes than anything

 

missed the xfire my bad fixed it

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful

First of all i'm not even sure if i will crosfire, but there is a chance that i might do that in the future if the price of the card drops.

The 750w would be posible, however the 850W doesn't seem to be for sale.

But with two 390's pcpartpicker says it will need 762W, so i guess that won't be enough?

EVGA, Seasonic and Antec make excellent power supplies. An EVGA G2 750W/850W is always a popular recommendation on this forum. Solid power supply.

 

Cases... well, what do you want in a case?

Seems like evryone recomends the EVGA g2, so i'll probebly go for one of those.

I would like something with plenty of space and a side window would be nice.

Pcpartpicker and other "power calculators" are not always accurate. However it does appear 390X Crossfire does draw 760 with a full system so the 850W is a better bet.

Only if you do higher voltage OCs, you could be fine with 750 I just like having a larger buffer

Can you find XFX or Seasonic?

 

Yes i can find them, i can find alot of others to.

The Evga G2 550w, 750w, 1000w are all availible though.

 

The only retailer with the 850 has a dilivery time of atleast 14 days, and the price is 200€ while the 750 is only 130€
