Hi Guys,

 

I am a first time PC builder and I need some quick fast help.

 

Before I begin i just wanted to show my setup:

CPU-FX-6300

GPU-R9 270

MOBO-Gigabyte 970A-D3P

RAM-8GB (2x4GB) Kingston HyperX Fury 1866mhz

PSU-EVGA 500W 80Plus Certified 

CPU Cooler-Cooler Master 212 Evo Fan

Storage- WD Blue 1TB

Case-?????????????????????????????

 

My question is that can you guys find any flaws in my build like something might be missing or not compatible (i.e my psu might not have enough cables) and can you guys suggest a cheap $50-$100AUD(Australian money) case that will fit everything. I was about to buy Corsair  0-3 SPEC case, but i read some forms on Tomshardware and that my cooler was not compatible with the case. ( Something that looks cool please!)

Already bought twin pack corsair 120mm fans red so can you guys recommend something that would match plz

zalman z9 plus it will do, its not the best but its not the worst you get a decent amount of fans which is nice.

 

Im not a fan of 1866mhz ram, 1600mhz while slower normally offers a lot better bang for buck as next to no games really provide a difference. other than that it seems fine. I recommend you get a cheap case so you can put more money into the gpu. psu is fine btw.

Hi about the ram, if the prices are the same-kingston HyperX 8gb(2x4GB 1866mhz)$60 and Vengence 8gb(2x4GB 1600mhz) $60 i might as well go with the kingston because it has higher speeds?

Personally I would scrap the cooler, get a $50 case (whatever looks the best), and put the extra money into upgrading to an i5.  It'll work out the same $$ but be an overall better system.

Yeah thats fine then, normally its more expensive but if its like then go for it.
