I was wondering if I should wait for tomorrow and if the power suply was good or not. (I heard bad things about Corsair).
 
 
Also is it compatible I get this message :
  • Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case has front panel USB 3.0 ports, but the MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard does not have onboard USB 3.0 headers.
  • Some Intel H81 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs.

I don't doubt your skills master. Just a question :

Is this new PSU better? It is 50W less? but better quality i guess?

 

And is the graphics card the same? I never understood the difference between brands?

@GalacticRuler gave a good option.

 

heres what i'd do:

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/mb8QrH

 

swapped out the mobo for a full size atx one. a bit more expensive, but looks much nicer, and has more expansion options.

swapped out the psu for a seasonic unit.

 

 

i'll NEVER recommend a corsair unit below RM for a performance machine. they're just not made for it.

The PSU I chose is much more reliable.

 

The graphics card is the same, just a different brand.

Using this thread (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/) XFX seems way better than the Seasonic. Could be wrong

Oh but I meant between these 2 (or recommend an other one?) :

 

Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($74.98 @ Newegg Canada) 

Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($79.99 @ Newegg Canada) 

XFX and Seasonic are on the same high quality ground. Just get whichever is cheaper and looks the nicest.
