Good Case for a Noob

thefatkid145
Go to solution Solved by Trik'Stari,

I don't have any preference of brand as long as they have a good reputation, I will be using an ATX mother board and a budget of around £100. Thank you @wng_kingsley7 and @JoaoPRSousa for offering to help a noob out.

Here is the PC parts picker link: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/q9ysMp

Your best bet as a noob, is the air 540. Specifically because

It has excellent airflow

it has excellent cable managment

it's a simple design.

 

there isnt much going on in the case that's hard to figure out or deal with.

I am doing my first build soon and I was wondering if there is a case that is good for a first time builder to build in. I am thinking of a using a 230T in black and red so anything around that price range and colour scheme would be great, I am also going to be using air cooling so a case with good air flow is important. Thank you guys for the help and I am interested to see what you guys think.      :D  :D

Hello TFK145, what kind of budget are you allocating to buy a new case? also is there a size restriction? ATX/M-ATX/M-ITX. Preferences of brands?

Well personally would go with  Corsair 350D , Phanteks enthoo pro or if you want more quiet built Aerocool DS 200 is an excellent choise .Also you can go to https://www.youtube.com/user/HardwareCanucks were they have tons of Case review i am sure you will find something you will like

Thank you @trik'stari for the air 540 recommendation it looks like it might be a better option and it would give me more options to expand in the future and it comes from a trusted name at a good price. I think this might be the one for me.
