CM690 II vs HAF 922 vs Antec Nine Hundred

[MarianFrog]

Which's the Overall best? (performance, specs, design, reliability, etc) and why?

Cooler Master CM680 II. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216

Cooler Master HAF 922 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119197

Antec Nine Hundred http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

I'm chossing one Case and one PSU for my new PC and it gets hard to decide those items... (especially PSU, i'm buying TOPOWER.. (omg, you didn't know it exists, didn't you? ) Any 750, 800w recommended?

Thanks!

Yeah i know Topower exists = sucks!
CM 690II - great case but i would buy the Advanced model not the Basic.
HAF 922 - excellent airflow and ample room.
NineHundred - old outdated case. 902V3 is alot better.

Coolermaster Haf 922
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=38996&vpn=RC%2D922M%2DKKN1%2DGP&manufacture=COOLERMASTER&promoid=1012

What i would buy.
Corsair Carbide Series 400R
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=61928&vpn=CC%2D9011011%2DWW&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1012

 

[ilysaml]

+1 for the HAF 922.
I would pick up this PSU.

What will your system specs be? Unless your doing high-end SLI/CF and heavy overclocking you're not likely to need more than a good 600W (probably not even that big). Great deal on the Seasonic S12II 620W at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=s12ii%20620

 

[davcon]

Depending on your gpu the above suggestion is excellent.

 

[MarianFrog]

system is i5@2500k 3.3ghz - GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 - Sapphire HD 6850 - 8gb G.Skill 1600mhz 1.5V CL9 - 1TB HDD Caviar Black 64mb 7200RPM - DVD...

These are the brands i can get for a PSU (not a SeaSonic): Sentey (anyone?), Cooler Master, Thermaltake, Antec and Corsair.

So, topower no.

What about these?

Antec EarthWatts Series EA-750 Green 750W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371051&Tpk=ea%20750%20green

COOLER MASTER GX Series RS750-ACAAE3-US 750W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171053

CORSAIR Gaming Series GS700 700W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139024&Tpk=corsair%20gs%20700

I really don't have many options guys, and i can get ONLY the brands i put before.

And about the MoBo... i'm thinking of CM690 II... i don't know why i like it, lol. But i'm open for more suggestions and if the Haf 922 is better for people, i'll but that.

Thanks!

Do you have a link to sites that you can buy from? That rig doesn't require more than a good quality 500W PSU...from the manufacturer's you listed I would stick with Corsair or Antec.

 

[ilysaml]

Yes only a 450W-500W PSU required. The PSU i linked is for high end setups with multi GPUs. You'd be fine with Antec Earthwatts 500W.

 

[MarianFrog]

Only SeaSonic i can't buy 'cause i'ts more difficult to get that brand here Apart from that, Corsair models i could get are GS and TX and Antec are the EA series, the links i put before are some good options? which's best?.

pd: i feel bad about my 3.3ghz i5. any link to put it 4.5ghz? then i'll need more Watts?

Thanks

I have a CM690II and there's alot to like about it = great case.
Buy an Antec or Corsair and like the guys pointed out you don't need a 700W+ psu.
A 500-600W is just fine.
Corsair TX line is the way to go then.

[ilysaml]

even with the OC yea 500W is enough.

 

[Rugger]

+1 for Corsair TX series...the 550W would be sufficient.

 

[MarianFrog]

Ok, thanks guys. About the PSU, this come down to:

1) CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M 650W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular High Performance Power Supply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139031

[NOTE: I didn't put the TX650 V2 version found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 because i don't know if i can get this, the other for sure, is there any difference?)

2) Antec EarthWatts EA-650 GREEN 650W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044

So which u choose again? Even with OC and let's say i change the VGA from 6850 to 6870 or 6950) 650 watts it's more than enough?

The difference between the Corsair units is the M series has semi-modular cabling, the TX cables are fixed.
I'd go for whatever Corsair TX unit you can afford = 5yr warranty,lots of 12v power
Antec(3yr) is good but the Corsairs are better imo.

Ok, for the PSU i'm there i think, with the Corsair TX650M! And about the MoBo there is some new third option i can get apart from the CM690 II and the Haf 922 and it's the Lian Li cases... any references??

PC-K62 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112239

PC-K7B http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112154

PC-7B Plus http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112099

They are at the same level, above or below the CM 690 II, HAF 922 and 902V3?

Almost thereee

You're just going to have to choose whatever case appeals to you the most.
Not one stinker in your list.

 

[MarianFrog]

Let's say i can take the Corsair Carbide Series 400R... it's the recommended among all the others? (and + Corsair PSU = Corsair team!)

 

[MarianFrog]

Any more opinions?
