Hi

Am using this current setup

I7-2600 cpu with Asus P8H67Pro mobo
Aerocool PGS QS200 casing <-- currently got rusty smell already.
LG Blueray dvd writer
Antec Khuler H620 water cooler
MSI GT650 TI GFX Card
WD 1TB Green hdd
crucial M4 240gb ssd as os drive
Andyson G530 psu


Looking for a
1)Gold 80+ PSU better if its modular


2)New casing preferably aluminium and usb3.0. hopefully can slot in 3 or more 3.5 inch hdd cause my current case only can put 1 2.5inch and 1 3.5inch hdd and its not a pretty sight when I need to do recovery for the hdd for the rest of the laptops in the house. and good ventilation and easy to clean for dust.

3)new motherboard with wifi built in hopefully mini itx and can reuse my water cooler still want to keep the cpu.

How much would I be looking at and to pay?

Thanks in Advance.

my personal recommendation.

Look for Seasonic X-series PSU

Lian Li casing

Asrock board.

There are only a few mini-ITX board... thus not much range to choose from..

If you don't OC... the basic board with necessary needs is more than enough.

Go for Bitfenix ITX casing, not that expensive and the quality is quite good.
Since you using IGPU, go for andyson low watts platinum psu.. is cheap for a 80+ platinum.

Heh sorry din see. Anyway just have a walk around sls. They have psu and casing combo. Look at bitfenix casings and as for the psu, you dont really need seasonic, for its price you can get something cheaper and better like fsp, superflower, etc.
You need at least 500w. Cheers and enjoy.
