Advice on Build - benwilliamson86 - 2012-10-10 Hello ive been lurking around using the info from the site in order to get ideas for a first build and would appreciate any feedback on this proposed setup. Silverstone ML03B Case Be Quiet SFX 300W MicroATX PSU Gigabyte F2A75M-D3H AMD A6-5400K Crucial 8GB DDR3 1866Mhz Ballistix Tactical Memory OCZ 60GB Agility 3 SSD Many Thanks, Ben RE: Advice on Build - Dougie Fresh - 2012-10-10 You'll also need an SFX-to-ATX bracket (sometimes also called SFX-to-PS2) for securing the power supply to the case. I prefer the Crucial M4 64GB SSD over the OCZ based on the hit-or-miss nature of the reviews and posts I've seen in forums. Everything else looks great. RE: Advice on Build - GortWillSaveUs - 2012-10-10 If you'd rather not deal with installing a bracket for that PSU,...I'd suggest and use the SilverStone Strider 400W, 80 PLUS, Active PFC Power Supply ST40F-ES (Black) in that same case. RE: Advice on Build - Arkitket - 2012-10-10 +1 for the SST-ST40F-ES. I have one in my ML03B and it fit great, and is VERY quiet RE: Advice on Build - Dougie Fresh - 2012-10-10 (2012-10-10, 14:31)GortWillSaveUs Wrote: If you'd rather not deal with installing a bracket for that PSU... It's not a big deal to install the bracket -- it's four extra screws .
