I didn't notice the price of the case, actually. When I picked it it was priced at 110. I'm not ok with 160 just for a case. That Corsair 400R will do quite fine. I see what you're saying about the budget expanding but not having the money go to core components. The only buff I really made was moving from 660 to 660 Ti. About the PSU: I'm planning on looking into an aftermarket cooler for overclocking months after purchase and getting a second card for SLI probably near the end of the year (or when ever I feel that I need more kick). I buddy of mine told me that my power supply was actually a bit weak for that and recommoned going for something that's 800-900W. I think he's crazy. What do you think? |
You know the 400R is a mid tower so it is smaller than the first case you chose? You should look up reviews of each part before you buy them. I spent a lot of time researching my case and GPU before I bought them.
Videos on youtube are good for getting a feel for the cases imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-u7FdeLSMI
Graphics cards I would just look over reviews for all 660ti's if you are sticking with that. Personally I would jump up to a Gigabyte gtx670 since it is pretty much equal to a 680 and can be seriously overclocked. Especially if you plan to SLI it down the road. They beat a 690 without overclocking and can get up to 20k in 3d mark with an overclock. http://www.overclock.net/t/1253432/gigabyte-gtx-670-oc-version-hands-on/540#post_17182440
I'm a bit biased about the graphics card though since it's the one I went with. Getting almost 10k graphics score on 3d mark with no overclock.
And I wouldn't bother with an extreme6 and just get an extreme4. Only a few slight differences but it is only about $20 of a difference. Looking at the prices in the US is making me jealous.
