I am planning to buy an assembled PC. The configurations are:
Intel Core i5-760, Biostar TH55B HD, sapphire Radeon HD 5850, Cooler Master Elite 335.

I am confused about the Power supply. which will be the best Vip 500W or other? Plz suggest with the price. Also suggest about the cabinet.:?::-|

For PSU, go for Corsair VX550W @ 4.7k without any doubt. It will be more than enough for your current config, and open for lots of future upgrades.

For cabinet, it depends, how much money you want to spend. If you want something within budget, yet offers high value for money, go for NXT Game.

For a little pricy one NZXT M59 @ 3.8k will be great.

^^ :agree: VX550W will be best buy. a VIP will only kill that system at best. & the cabby is NZXT Gamma. not game :grin:
