I just wanted to know some of your guys suggestions on what i could buy to add to my PC, it doesn't have to be something like a new graphics card it could be anything like a new case, fan controller, sleeved PSU cables. Something that you find useful or something that would make my PC look or perform better.

Your PC looks pretty decent already, I don't see anything that you would want to change.

A new case makes it feel like a new pc. I'm not a fan of what you have on there. Good for price, but really space-shipy. Something simple and modern?

Yeah, i didn't get all of my parts at the same time that's why i have a pretty cheapo case, been thinking of upgrading it for a while i sorta like the look but feels quite flimsy with it being all plastic etc, good case for the price though definitely.

I won't really suggest anything in particular unless you ask. If you do pick, I mean pick whatever you like. Besides bad plastics and stuff a case is purely a style choice IMHO. If you have a 780ti with that silver reference cooler with the green logo led, it would look great in a case with a tinted window.

well you can give me some case suggestions if you want, preferably mid tower and with a window :) Probably want to spend around £80 max on a case..

H440 is obligatory. Comes in green/black, red/black, orange/black, black/white

450D is also about the same price, so that's an option.

I like the corsair air 540.

Those are the only few I can think of off the top of my head. Keep in mind I like simple cases, so if flashy is your thing there are other great options as well. Look around, imo case shopping is the funnest part about PC component shopping.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro, got to be the best mid-range case out, with a window, and it's a mid tower, with ample cable management, with really decent upgradability. 

Also I second the thought of the extra 8GB of RAM, maybe with some cable sleeving just to make the whole system look a little nicer?? Or how about a couple of fans for the top or front?

It's a really good case but I think I personally am turned off by that window design.

I really like it, that front angular window gives it a bit more sharpness imo.

I really like the look of the H440, looks like lots of other people do too because the stocks are low lol

And yeah more ram seems like a good idea as well as sleeved cables for better aesthetics :)

Yeh, how about another monitor?? If you have a decent amount of money and a need for it.

Maybe a fan controller like you said, or some LED strips.
