I just bought
AMD FX 8120
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
G Skill 1x8 GB (1600) Ram
HIS IceQ X 6870 1GB
2 x 1TB WD Blue

I want some suggestions on Cabinet and Power Supply

Had earlier thought of using old one but now my mind has changed.

I would like a cabinet with nice air flow as i have plan to overclock it a little. I don't want a too good Power Supply, just the one which would fulfill my needs easily.

I can not extend my budget of Rs.8000.

I have CM Elite 431 + CM GX550 in my mind.
Please give your suggestions

This >> +1.

If you stay @ Mumbai - you should get it locally under 5k.
If your local dealer doesnt comply - just show him this page - *www.theitwares.com/corsair-carbide...rey-black-steel-tower-gaming-case-p-2291.html Tell him you ll get it online from here if he doesn't cut a fair deal.

I dont know at what price does the case sell in other parts of India.

I had selected CM K 380 but it is not aviailable in ludhiana.
They said only 431 and 431 plus are available in this range
so plz suggest me which one to buy. if K380 is better then i will order online.

If you can afford the 400R which I see your 8K can fit in then just simply get it. No K380 is not better than the 400R. Give 431 a miss,not good at all.

the thing is I am not getting any corsair product like Cabinets, Power supplys here in ludhiana.
Many dealers don't even know that these products come from corsair as well. :(

Asked from KC and even Rashi Peripherals Ldh. they too don't have it in stock
and say it would take atleast 2 weeks after order and prepayment for 400R to come

Ordered the 400R for 4431 at CHS with COD
