Hey guys this is my build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7Jc6q4

 

I was planning on getting the "SeaSonic" power supply however the "850W ThermalTake Toughpower" is the same exact price, should i get the thermalTake one? or stick with the other one, again both are the same price so not sure which one to get 

 

Thanks

haha both teir 1 :0 guess it doesn't matter then :) Might just get the 850w for the future of sli or whatever 

 

Oops Seasonic is tier 2  , my bad 

Ehhh, don't bother with SLI. It's awful and creates too many problems.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Another vote for the 550W Focus Plus Gold. You don't need a 650W/850W, save yourself the money and buy more fans.

 

SLI is pretty much dead, newer technologies by Nvidia are killing it. It was never supported well anyways.

Best & worst cases for your money in 2018 are:

 

Best Cases overall

 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C - Airflow and relatively quiet, best all around case

I) Phanteks Enthoo Pro M / Special Edition (white interior) - Airflow & full water cooling support

I) Fractal Define R6 - Silent with decent airflow

I) Be Quiet! DB 900 (Full Tower) - Airflow and silent 

I) Fractal Design Meshify C mini (mATX)

I) Corsair 400C - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Phanteks 350X - Only use with low end components, no 1080 / TI

I) Fractal Design Focus G

 

Cases that may be worth your money

 

I) Thermaltake G21 - GPU and CPU cooling issues, modest tweaking
I) Silverstone RL06 / Pro - Mustard/Ketchup wires, Shitty cable management, Poor front radiator support, useless psu filter, stupid ssd layout
I) In Win 303

I) Coolermaster H500 no suffix - if 200mm fans are your thing

I) NZXT H700 non "i" version - Needs to come down in price to be worth it

I) Corsair Carbide 100R - Suitable for low end builds

 

The worst cases - Do Not Buy

 

I) NZXT S340/Elite, H500, H440 (everything except the H700) Reason: Poor airflow
I) Coolermaster Masterbox 5

Majority of cases on the market

Looks like 899 Vs 1260 sek to me. The GQ 650W is currently well priced, at 649. 

sorry i wasen't clear , in a shop near the place i work! Same price , and the models i put above so i bought the 850 

 

Right now there is actually really good deals in Sweden, compared to the Uk not sure why
