Corsair 250D case swap. What power supply

[RickPlaysWarr]

Hi

I currently have my Mac Clone/mItx gaming rig in an EVGA Hadron air case which comes with a built in power supply. I am looking to change to a Corsair 250D case after seeing Tom's review. Want to go to H100i cooler as he showed it fits

I need to know what power supply to get size and cable wise. Not adverse to buying a short cable set if need be

Rig is:

Gigabyte GA-Z87N-Wifi mITX Motherboard
Intel 4770K i7 processor
2 x Samsung 840 EVO 250 gig SSD

EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card

Currently the rig is air cooled by the two top 120mm fans and a passive EVGA cpu cooler with fan.

Going to by the Corsair 250D/H100i and transfer to that case, so wonder what PS to buy.

Thanks

Depends on your budget but only one PSU brand has the option of buying short cables - the rest you just have to make do or make your own.

Also if its not Corsair it depends how quiet you want it tbh

PSU Budget

Hi Tom

Love the videos, just watched the PSU wattage one, so got me thinking

$100 is a good number, and I have wanted to try eventually to sleeve the cables myself, so not adverse to trying it if need be to shorten up the set. The Silverstone PP05-E set is out of stock at Newegg and other USA based iNet retailers, so if need be can wait.

I think silverstone has a nice short psu, gold rated with a short cable set. Tom did a review on it, don't know which one anymore.

$100 isnt much dude tbh - if you got the 250D Id say get an RM because it will be mega quiet then

Thanks Tom,

Do you think the RM 550 is a good choice, does it leave me any room to grow if I get a better video card like 780ti? Its at Newegg (which is in California like me) for 109 as shown below
