As far as recently, I've read that the newer gray-label CX and CXM series are better than the old green-label units. I noticed recently that Corsair came out with a new gray-label lineup of VS series: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vs-series-vs400-400-watt-80-plus-white-certified-psu-na...

There are a few things it doesn't check, like ram clearance with large cpu coolers, or whether the case has enough clearance for said large cpu coolers. I had to look up the cpu cooler, since you didn't even provide the permalink to your PCPartPicker list, but it's not a large cpu cooler. It...

Please specify what currency your budget is in. People from various countries post in this forum, so it's not safe to assume any particular currency. Also, it will help to know what country you are in for purposes of determining your local prices and availability.

I notice a number of discrepancies in the specs between the lazada.co.th link and the 1stplayer.com link. The fan grills look to be different colors as well. I don't think those are describing the same power supply.

I've been unsuccessful at finding official specs of the max cpu cooler height for that case, but it has a tight-fitting rear 120mm fan mount, which implies a max cpu cooler height of about 150mm. The CM hyper 212 led turbo is 163mm high, so it is very unlikely to fit. Is the Cryorig H7...

idk if they're required to, but after a bit of looking at Amazon, which has a "date first available" listing (which isn't always reliable due to multiple sellers etc.), it looks like the Seasonic could be as old as about May 2010 (if it's the S12II-520) or April 2010 (if it's the M12II-520)...

Here's something that can give you a rough idea how old that Silverstone psu could be, though: it's listed under "legacy products" at Silverstone's website (meaning they no longer produce that exact model), and the online manual lists an issue date of November 2010.

Raidmax psus are generally considered fire hazards, not even worthy of being called power supplies (with one strange exception that came out last year), so it's definitely a good idea to buy a new one. It's hard to make a specific recommendation without knowing what country you're in (and thus...

Check the bbcode of the first post. There are urls there, but they lead to html pages, instead of pure images, so they don't work in img tags. I guess the OP didn't notice the "links" at that site that offered a "phpBB link" option that would probably work better.

Perhaps you could at least explain why you feel the need to make a case from scratch instead of modding an existing case.

The Corsair Spec cases have a window that bulges outward, which means that depending on the position of the cpu socket and the orientation of the cooler, some people are able to get coolers to fit that are slightly taller than the listed max height. However, it's impractical to predict ahead of...

According to http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-pro-5/ that case comes with two front 140mm fans pre-installed and one rear 140mm fan, so you probably don't need more. Technically, you can still install the fans you listed, since it has room for an additional 120mm/140mm...

Somebody posted a link in another thread to this Google Docs spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11onK00rTuw7XmH5D-XtsjT3P32qldAmoaOlLPCTAxk0/pubhtml idk who actually maintains this spreadsheet though Alternatively, there are adapters to fit in 3.5 inch bays, such as this one...

I hesitate to call that power supply modern. Most good quality psus that are recent enough to call modern don't even have such a switch (since they can handle a range of input voltages from 100-240V, or sometimes 90-264V, and don't need it).
