Corsair 200R.

Posted

I am a new builder and I am looking for a good case for my first build. At the moment I am going with the Zalman Z3 or the Corsair 200R. The most I am willing to spend on case is £45 OR $73. I am just looking for recommendations and if you say one is bad say why because it might be something I do not really care about.

 

-Needs to fit a ATX motherboard and have a least 300mm space for a GPU.

 

*EDIT* The Zalman Z3 is cheaper is there any reason I shouldn't go with that?

NZXT 210 source is good for that I think. Otherwise the Corsair Carbide 300R

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

The Source 210 and 220 are to small for the GPU.

Go source 340
