Case with cpu or without?

[echo4019]

hi guys. looking to build a new pc, quite like the look of this case http://www.amazon.co.uk/Coolermaster-Storm-Enforcer-Tower-Case/dp/B004S9S218/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1HPGVXMG1L4O&coliid=ITK0S2MBX54EA I was going to pair it up with this http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-OCZ600MXSP-UK-ModXStream-Power-Supply/dp/B001GLFD54/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1HPGVXMG1L4O&coliid=I3C2QNCX93MF5I.

but then I spotted the bundled version of it here http://www.ebuyer.com/270605-cm-storm-enforcer-case-with-coolermaster-650w-gx-psu-sgc-1000-kwa-650w. It works out cheaper for the bundle, just not sure if what I first had in mind was better.

Any help appreciated!

Better off with this case
http://www.ebuyer.com/351501-corsair-carbide-300r-case-cc-9011014-ww
and this bundled PSU

I'd get the OCZ and case separately, CM psu's seem to have a high failure rate from what I've read and the general consensus is that they're average at best, even though the GX's are supposed to be some of the better ones. Not worth saving a little over 10 pounds.

 

[wiinippongamer]

Second the corsair Carbide recommendation, though cases are more of a personal preference thing.

 

[geofelt]

The two psu's are not the same. The bundled one is of lower quality on this list:

Buy a case you love, and stick to top quality psu's.

Thanks a bunch for the suggestions guys, can't help but think the Carbide is a little too plain but I understand it has great airflow.

On the other hand I've read the Storm Enforcer also has good airflow with the Front 200mm fan as opposed to the 140mm on the Carbide, but as wiinippongamer puts it cases are personal preference.

Any other main differences between the cases or is it purely down to aesthetics?

As of the power supply is there much of a difference between the OCZ OCZ600MXSP-UK ModXStream Pro 600W and Corsair GS 600W Gaming Series, I know the OCZ has a modular design is this the case with the Corsair?

Sorry for sounding like a noob but there is just so much to choose from

thanks again guys!

The corsair is non-modular, they're both 80+ certified, And both should be reliable.
