Let's talk budget and cable management.

Gi Di

Everybody has their first build, mines was pretty eh. I upgraded from consoles a year ago using Austin Evans. Man oh man was I an idiot, The components were a low wattage psu and a atrocious case (Rosewill Line-M). I've racked up enough money this year to purchase a modular 700w psu and the R9 380 for a steal. Now for the case, I've heard of the CM Haf 912 but I think I need to find out some other options. Thanks.

Thermaltake Core V21.

 

It's a cube case with versatile components and excellent airflow. :)

Could you post your entire build? I'm having a hard time understanding why you want to use a 700w PSU on an R9 380. Would also help in suggesting a case.

I broke the internet. I fixed the internet.

Sorry about being late, connectivity issues and COX being a huge cock.

Get rid of that PSU and get a seasonic, xfx, antec, evga g2 or gs 500 - 550w, 80+ bronze or higher PSU. Get 2 4gb sticks instead of a single 8gb stick. I'm on my phone atm, so i cant look up that case, but consider the coler master n200 or fractal design core 1300.
