Quoted from Cooler
Don’t spend too much money on a case tho
I took that advice 1st time round, and it was horrible, horrible advice.
Good, semi cheap case: Fractal Design Define R3. I have R2 myself and I’m more than happy!

buy a decent case. £70+
get an i5 don’t buy a custom cooler not worth it these days.
get a £150-£200 ati card (cant go wrong)
4gb ddr3
500w psu
and a benq 120hz monitor.
this is all
I’ve been told to get a Sandybridge because apparently it will last me a long time if I OC it in the near future, and apparently you can get a 4.6 OC on it easily anyway.
The case I’m questioning, I will look around for reviews on the case that I am getting, but for now I’m getting it as it’s cheap and comes with a PSU.
If I can find a good case + PSU that’s near the price then I could do that instead.
Good psu: Corsair 520W. Don’t get any cheap psu because it will probably cause you problems in the near future. Corsair is good and cheap.

Buying random, cheap shit also isn’t good idea. Just have to keep it balanced :>

any case that comes with psu comes with nobrand psu’s… so if u find a case ur looking for even if it has psu, throw it out or sell it, just dont plan on using it…
also 500w nobrand psu = 400w branded (corsair, gigabyte, etc) so think again, if they rly cost “that” much

Indeed. When you’re spending like £600+ on a PC, its not unreasonable to spend like ~£80 on a case. I swear by the higher end Antec stuff, Coolermaster are pretty awesome.
Lian Li cases may look nice in photos and be built with quality materials, but general polish and finish on them is actually pretty tacky.
Antec is indeed pretty nice
Do note that some higher end cases can be quite large, so take that into account if you plan on going to lans. You can find good smaller cases that take mobility or even lans into account. e.g. http://www.slashgear.com/bitfenix-shows-off-sweet-new-survivor-pc-chassis-30105307/
