Coolermaster Elite330 or Antec NSK6580

Which one should I go for? Don't care about the cases, PSU is the deciding factor.

One's got the Coolermaster 460W PSU and the antec has the earthwatts 430W PSU.

And oh yeh, the coolermaster is like £15 less than the antec and lighter too.

The Cooler Master is lighter because they use thinner (and cheaper) metals. IMO the Antec EarthWatts PSU that is included is better quality than the included Cooler Master PSU. Personally I'd go with the Antec.

Cooler Master does make better cases and better PSUs, but the Elite 330 is NOT one of their better cases.

Just for anyone thinking of doing the same thing here. Never make your case decision based on the included PSU. While the Antec case is one of the few on the market that comes with a decent PSU most cases are not like that. Even though a case may have a 500+W PSU doesn't mean its a good PSU that is able to handle todays power needs. Often the PSu is an outdated model that doen't put a majority of the power on the 12V rail(s) which is where todays system needs most of its power from.

actually perhaps the best PSU/Case combo on the market now is the Coolermaster Stacker 830 and Real Power Pro 1000 Watt
