Need help choosing a case.

[Deleted]

Ok so I've now got the funds to update my mobo and processor (finally) And I've decided on an i5 and z87 board http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/128We

However I want a new case to put it in that has usb 3.0 in the front panel, is well ventilated and if it comes with more than just the standard front and back fans then thats obviously a bonus.

I do really like this case http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...362&catid=2277 and it would be ideal if it had usb 3.0 in the front panel.

If you have any suggestions for a better motherboard as well then feel free to let me know.

I already have an MSI GTX 670 power edition GPU, 650W modular PSU, Hard drive, Ram etc so don't need anything other than mobo processor and case.


I live in the UK so bear that in mind with suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

I'd pick one of the following motherboards, all around the £100 mark:

Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87
Asus Z87-A
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming

Just Google them for reviews/features.

I'd pick a different case, something like this maybe:

Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black ~£59
Corsair Carbide Series 300R Windowed ~£67


Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Black) £70

Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 ~£70

Thanks for the suggestions, going to go with the corsair 230T unless I find something I like more.

Any reason for choosing a different mobo to the one I linked?

Cheaper with similar features/quality, possibly better quality if you put any stock in Newegg comments.

Thanks for that, any of the 3 you linked stand out over the other 2?

Hmm that's tough. I personally like Asus the best but read reviews, look at the different features, maybe you prefer a certain aesthetics, used to a specific UEFI/BIOS software etc. Like I said they're all really close.

Think I'm going to go with the MSI, reading reviews the MSI board overclocks slightly better, and I like the looks of it more (shallow I know but hey)

Thank you again for the help
