New Case, Small Budget

[daaaaab]

<I am sorry I don’t have pictures yet.>

So, I have a:

+ FX6300 (stock cooler, very loud)

+ MSI G55

+ Sapphire 7850

+ Kingstone Predator X

+ WD green 1TB (i got it 1/2 price)

+ A-data SX-9000 128Gb

+ OCZ Fatal1ty 550W

This guy sits as of the time i bought him in a crappy case, I got some money and want to get a nice case and a CPU fan.

This is what i plan ok getting:

- Zalman Z5 Plus  Keep in mind that in my country its best price is of about $80 (which is a lil bit more than i wanted to spend and my MSI has no header for USB3.0 (this annoyed me like crazy when i realised), so this case has a good solution for that)

- Deepcool GAMMA BLADE or GAMMA ARCHER, not sure which would look better, black would look stealthy, blue would fit the RAM (I know its a small cooler, but i just need a silent one for now, I’ll see later on!)

What do you think? I would love some constructive criticism. Thanks!

 

PS my hole build cost about $850 (I repeat in my country, Romania)

Some more options for your case:

- Corsair 200R

- Corsair 300R (maybe just outside your budget)

- Antec One

- Antec Three Hundred Two (also maybe just outside your budget)

With these cases you will get the best quality at this price point. There are of course more cases to choose from, but this is just a suggestion.

 

And how much do you want to spend on the cpu cooler? You said you want to get a silent one, but with the options you have pointed out you won't get much improvement.

Thank you for the suggestions, they're around my budget and look great, but its that stupid USB 3.0 header... or lack of, that is a deal breaker, with the Z5+ I don't have ti change the MB to get front USB 3.0

With the CPU cooler I don't want to spend much at all, but I think the two I pointed out will give some improvement, the stock cooler spins at about 3000+rpm the ones from Deepcool 1600rpm.

I'll let you know how they handle. I'll put some pics up when i get them.
