[SOLVED] Started My First PC Build, Need 3 More Items On A $250 Budget!

[Cfuson001]

Have the Moba/CPU/RAM/GPU so far but i still need a good power supply, SSD (pref 500gig) and a case (pref good airflow and quietness?), I have $250 to work with.

Here's what i have so far, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pDdrFt

did you get that graphics card? else the 1660 is better and cheaper.

My recommandation.

Yeah i already have the PNY 1060 XLR8 and ty for the recs on the SSD and power supply, i love those. On the other hand are you sure that case and fans are quiet / good airflow? A lot of reviews on newegg are negative on that case. I guess i should also mention i don't care one way or the other for RGB. Is it better to go with the case you recommended or something like an NZXT H500? BTW i can prob add another $50 to the budget if necessary.

The fans are normal, not too loud no rgb. if you want a good case fan you pay easily 20 dollars per fan up to25 if you want rgb too.

reviews on newegg/amazon are meaningless.

Both the nzxt case and the corsair case are good cases , check professional reviews.

Ok i went with what you recommended thanks, i guess the last question i have is where would you mount the 2 extra fans? sorry its my first pc build.

2 in the front and the pc has always already got 1 at the back.

P.S. , don't worry too much about the case , the nzxt is really good too some of phanteks are also really nice. Pick something you find appealing. you cant go wrong with corsair/phanteks/nzxt.
