Is a h97 board really necessary? Would I not be fine with a cheaper B85m or so?

What case and PSU do you suggest?

I think I'd skip the 1TB internal and just move stuff onto my WD Passport. I know I can't run games from it.

Yeah a B85 would be sound.

A BeQuiet or SeaSonic PSU would be good, Corsair are good too but feck me mine is loud.

As for a case, BitFenix, Fractal and Zalman typically make good cases, along with Cooler Master
