Hello,
I am planning to upgrade my pc, new cpu, mboard, memory, case.
I have decided upon a cpu, mboard and ram i need, but now i need a case.

I am getting an amd 1900, so i need to get an amd approved psu (and i would like it to be 350W) i am having trouble finding a case that has this psu in it or a an empty case. Anyone know of any cases/psu that suit my needs and a website i can get them from (i live in the UK)
Cheers

I would look at an Antec case and psu. The psus are of high quality and usually come included with the Antec case, which is designed with good quality and a sleek design. I'm not familiar with sites to buy in the UK, but look for this type of case, it's one of the best.

I bought the Antec 1030 for my new build and I love it.

ok looking at antec website, they do supply in uk, but a 350W or 400W case will cost £100, (150$) does this seem like too much? as it seems like too much to me.

No, it doesn't seem like too much considering it's in Europe as well so it's just a bit more than the US prices.
If you go to buy a quality 350/400 watt psu, you will find that it will cost half that or more and that's just for the psu, but when you factor in a case that is designed well as well, it makes the deal better.

You can find some generic case that will cut your fingers on the sharp edges and have some low quality psu included, but it will not be what you want and you will end up getting another one which will offset the cost that you would have with the Antec in the beginning.

Look for some with the TruePower Antec psus cause they supposedly separate the rails so as to give "truer" voltages and outputs.
