CPU & Case for Seasonic 1250XM and Radeon HD 7950

[neuromancer56]

I have a Seasonic SS1250XM power supply (it's a big one) and a Radeon HD7950 GPU. I'm looking for an inexpensive but solid case and CPU that will turn this into an ok gaming rig. Will any $60 or cheaper Mid Tower case work? Does it make sense for me to go any smaller than that? Any specific recommendations for a case? Also I have a second Radeon HD7950, which I need a power supply for. I'd like something much less expensive than the Seasonic SS1250XM. From what I understand, I would need at least a 500W power supply. Any recommendations for that?

Hi. You could get a Cooler Master 912 HAF case which is under $60 and a good one ( I am using it ). Look at a Seasonic 750w Full Modular PSU, which is 80+ Gold. You can look at some lesser Seasoinics, but may not get full modular. You really don't need that much of a Power supply. The 750 will handle sli / Crossfire. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256087&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
