Hi, looking for a case and PSU recommendation for the setup below:

AMD FX 6300 Black Edition 3.5GHz Six-Core Socket AM3+ Boxed Processor
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Socket AM3+ mATX 760G AMD Motherboard
x2 Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB DDR3 RAM
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 92mm HP CPU Cooler
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 1GB DDR3 PCIe
HDD
SSD

Budget is <$200 or as low as possible for both.

Rig is for League, watching streams, and multitasking.

Thanks.

You should really consider upgrading that GPU. Even an onboard GPU from hashwell or skylake is better than that.

this would do, for case and PSU

In order from least to most powerful
Gtx 750 ti
R7 370 if you can find it for that price point (its a sale and it happens often)
sometimes gtx 950's go on sale for 100 after rebate, which is the best of the 3.

the gtx950s are better than the R7 370 even though R7 370 is 4Gb and the gtx950s are 2Gb?


and none of these are <$100...I'm looking to buy one ASAP, not planning on waiting for a sale.

thanks though

and yes the 370 is a less powerful chip, more memory won't help it somehow a 950 is being bottlenecked by memory, which could only happen in specific games (which i do not know). In most cases though, 950 >
