I am building my brother a cheap gaming PC with an Intel G2020 and an MSI R7 250X 2GD5 and 2x4GB of ram. Will this be a good Case/PSU combo?

The case itself is pretty sturdy and has space for several cooling fans, which I imagine would be a must in a gaming rig. I'm not sure that the power supply will be sufficient. My build is a typical 'desktop' build, and this case has been a good choice for me.

You did say cheap, so make sure you computer componets are snug when installing and not overly tight. Also, parts bend easily, feels more like this case is made of tin. So far no issues for the last 2 years.

Yes, it is a great case! I use a bunch of them in my office and they are great cases for just about every one of your needs. I use the power supply that came with them and have never had a problem. I am not gamer but these things are on 24/7 and we have never had a failure.

Yes this is a good case for that! I did the same thing for my sister except I used a G3258 and a R9 270X

I purchased this case to make a cheap gaming PC as well, I would buy an additional fan for the side panel 80mm I believe is the size... I hope it's the size I bought one but havent installed it yet :) But with the stock cooling fans running an i5 quad core with GEForce GT 730 (cheap card) the temperature is about 35 C which is well within normal temp range.

not having that case myself....it is hard to say. But i believe the cords will be long enough.....however im more concerned with the cords orientation..... are you sure that psu will line up correctly?

Motherboard shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you have the right wattage on your PSU.

Hi :) yea all of that woll work together :) i have a gigabyte gtx 970 4gb ftw.. a amd fx 8350.. and a msi gaming motherboard.... yes you have a gigabyte motherboard, but all amd motherboards are designed to fit pretty much anything you can throw at it.. thats why amd is soo amazing :) so yes all of your parts will fit and work great! And the case is really nice! And will hold all your parts and look awesome doing it!! Happy building my friend

It should be well more than enough to cover it. That combination, even overclocked, should use around 500W of power, taking into account everything you'll have in your system.

It is a great card and would it would be compatible with the board . although u must consider having a power supply than can power it properly( MSI Recommends a 750w) , if you are using a budget / lower end cpu it will seriously limit your frame rate , you must know if it can fit in your case as it is too long to fit into some cases (dimensions - 276x127x39mm) and if you are using an aftermarket cooler for your cpu how close would it be to the card which may affect airflow inside your case.

Yes. It should be fine. You have a PCI express X 16 slot and unless you've beaten the crap out of the computer or you already have a bunch of attachments your PSU should still have enough juice to power it?

Absolutely sir. I bought this for my brothers gaming rig. His gpu is a gtx 770 and we have had no problems. For gaming, an i5 is more than enough. The gpu is more important in this case. Even if you went all out with dual 780ti's that CPU would be fine. Overclocks very well also

I have a 1600 watt ps and I have a gtx 780TI in mine, ATX mb, 3 SSD, Liquid cooling for my cpu. There is plenty of room in this case. By far my fav case I have ever built in.

Yes, with the slim case over heating could be an issue if you're using it for any kind of gaming or video editing. For a few more bucks the 6570 has a fan and uses about the same amount of power that your 300 watt psu will easily handle. I've upgraded to the 6570 months ago running on a 220w psu and no issues. The 6450 is a nice card for the money. But I had issues with heat in a small form case running games and video editing software.

It will work just fine. You could run 2 or probably even 3 in crossfire with that psu. 600 is already more than enough. Cpu wont be a problem either

I've got this CPU, Radeon HD 6850, 4 rams (2x4GB, 2x8GB) and 2 hard drive and I have a 500W PSU. I think I'm better upgrade the PSU, but at the moment, I don't have any problems and everything works fine...So I guess a 500W would be fine for you.

"It depends." Here's the long answer: Read the label on the side of your power supply about the total watts available on the combined legs of the output. Now add up the power used by all your components--use google to find that information, or check the manuals. If the total is less than the legs, it is certainly worth trying.This is the short answer: If this 300-w. PSU is one of the 'no-name' ones that came with the case for $39.99, shipping included. It most assuredly will not. (At least for very long.)

If the machine can fit a Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500w Power Supply (RS500-PCARD3-US), I suggest you buy it. My CPU fan makes more noise than the PSU. You can order it here on Amazon.

I bought a corsair 750. It fit very well. Ventilation through the bottom of the case. As for your specific motherboard and CPU, make sure you get adequate power.

any PSU that will fit in the case is a micro ITX or mini ITX . I have a mini ITX Motherboard which is the smaller of the two, and there is ample room for all your stuff in there. ENJOY. I put a 450 watt one in mine, with a ZOTAC MoBo and I am very happy with it.

The power supply is atx and the case is atx so yes. What matters is your motherboard
