Help me choose a case

[Adrian S]

Hello everyone.

 

I've decided to buy an MSI Radeon R9 270x, and now I need a computer case with a decent airflow. I have roughly 60$ to spend on the case and I've been thinking of buying a Zalman Z3 Plus. I also have a Zalman ZM500-LX PSU wich doesn't have long cables ( I believe they are about 50 cm ), so I figured I could also do some WM in that case.

 

Those being said, what do you guys think? Is it a good enough case? Could you recommend me any other cases which go up to 60$, if that Zalman is not good? Or should I just gather some more money and invest into something more useful?

 

Thanks in advance!

Do you have an mATX mobo?

[Adrian S]

It's standard ATX, not mini.

I've heard very good things about the n400

you don't need to spend the extra on a 270x. just get a normal msi 270 , overclock it a litle and you'll reach 270x framerates it's that simple?

 

from what site are you buying it ?

the zalman looks like a solid case with plenty of airflow

the aesthetics are not that good in my opinion,
