Would any of these cases be better?? They come with a 500W PSU's. I'm not to sure if there good or not (The Psu's that is), But the cases look good tbh :)

I know they don't give the specs of the PSU's but if anyone knows what ones are in there cases or have heard good things about them please reply :)

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Stay away from Raidmax PSUs!

Stick with Seasonic, XFX, Antec, and Corsair for good PSUs.

OP, except for a few very specific cases, you do not want the PSU that is bundled with a case. They are cheap for a reason.

-.-... I don't even want to go back and count how many times people have said that...

OP, with only ONE exception (Antec) there are literally NO good PSUs that come with cases. This is absolutely the FIRST area you want to spend some money in because it sends electricity through your computer... I mean, use some logic here... You can damage components by sending too much power to them, and you can affect your performance if you don't have enough power for everything.

Good PSU brands are: Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, and XFX. I wouldn't put anything else into my computer. It's literally $10 more. Are you going to tell me you want to risk your whole build for $10?!
