Hello. I currently own an Intel E5200 @ 3.6GHz, 4GB Ram and 9800GT normal sized computer. It's 2.5 years old but it still manages to satisfy my gaming needs.
My plan is to build a new PC that hopefully wont need an upgrade for atleast minimum 2 years. I plan to game on that PC at 1920 x 1080 resolutions and medium-high quality.
But let's talk detail.
CPU: It will probably be an Intel i5 2500. k or non k, depends on some issues that i will post below.
Since AMD Bulldozer release is soon. I can wait 1, maximum 2 months with the build. I am skeptical tho. SB is an amazing cpu, and AMD always had higher TDP.
Cooling Absolutely not WC. Either a stock or a decent aftermarket cooler like shuriken or samuel.
Mainboard: If i will use a 2500 non k, I want either the ASRock or the Zotac MB. But knowing that Zotac has some problems with it's wifi, I'm inclined to get the asrock one.
One thing tho. Does asrock support cpu undervolting?
GPU: Nvidia GTX 560Ti, Probably the MSI build.
Aand... my major issue the CASE.
I am only interested in 2 models here. Silverstone Sugo SG05 or Sugo SG07.
As far as SG07 goes, i haven't found any bad reviews of it. My personal opinions about it are:
+ very good looking
+ strong PSU
+ can hold i7 + GTX 580/6970
+ 180MM fan that cools the entire mainboard
- it is a bit expensive
- it is a bit large
On the other hand the SG05
+ good priced
+good looking
+small size
-questionable psu
-questionable airflow
Sure, you could say, go for the SG07 it's 50euros more expensive, it is still a small case and it's a newer design.
But I really like the Sg05 it;s so small
So let's sum it up.
i5 2500 (non k) + asrock h67itx + 8GB ddr3 (1.5v) + MSI 560Ti + slim dvdrom + SSD/notebook hdd + 3.5" HDD + SG05-450W. Would this work?
Reason I am asking, I saw the chirping thread. Would it work with an SG05 with the 300W PSU.
The Would it work?...not boot/pass some stress tests. I'm refering to a 24/7 use more or less.
I found something interesting on ebay.de. I cant find SG07 or SG05-450W in my country so I will buy it from abroad.
A company selling already built computers with similar spec, but using the normal 300W psu.

Sorry for the chaotic post. I got so many questions, I am abit undecided, I have a limited budget. And as I was saying, I want this system to last me atleast 2 years. I don't want to regret the investment.
