[SOLVED] PSU/Case question

[ascendaNt88]

am I better off going with a CM MasterBox K500 + MWE 650 Gold bundle ($84.99 for case, $99 for PSU seperately and $140 in a bundle) or Cougar MX330 + Enermax Platimax D.F 600w ($45+$82)? According to some reviews the enermax is a little better than the MWE, but I don't know how the cougar case holds up against the K500. I mean, there has to be a reason it costs almost twice as much right?

This would depend on what sort of budget you have what will the PSU be powering?

This is the rest of the parts

budget preferably not exceeding the price of the bundle (<$140)

Do you have any other storage? as 180GB just isn't enough for much in 2019.

I'm planning to buy a HP EX920 later on.

What will you be using the PC for?

Mostly just gaming.

I see 180GB won't cut it then, I'd get a big HDD as soon as possible.

oh yeah I know, I'm getting the extra storage in a couple of weeks. This is mostly to install windows and two or three games. What about the case though? will the cougar suffice, and do I go for the enermax psu or do I go for the cm bundle?

 

[AngelTech]

Probably the CM bundle.

Probably the CM bundle.

alright, thanks! would you care to elaborate though? is it because the performance between the two cases is more notable than between the psus?

 

[AngelTech]

From what I can see the CM case has better airflow if you were running let's say an RTX 2070 or 2080 I'd probs opt for a more quality PSU however, We've got similar base components except I pushed more money into my PSU for future upgrades.
