Go to solution Solved by SomeGreekGuy,

All cases these days are pretty much built with removable dust filters and some modularity in mind (such as removable HDD brackets for better airflow etc.).

From that point in on it depends on what you like and if you want to "future proof" your case (future proof in " because there is no such thing...).

Personaly I'm going with a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M acrylic window edition. Brand new case, same as the Pro M, accept the whole side is acrylic so you can see everything.

Buuut because you are only purchasing from this specific webpage (I'm guessing a bundle?) I'd go either with the Corsair C70 or the Coolermaster CM storm 2 if you like going to LANs and need to transport your case quite often, or else if you're willing to add a bit more, go with the Coolermaster Mastercase 5 or Pro 5.

I think you should go for a case that has good airflow and relatively silent operation. If you have an Nvidia card then you shouldn't worry too much about GPU temps. High-performance AMD cards (except the liquid-cooled fury X) on the other hand generate quite a fare amount of heat and you want that moved out quickly.

 

There are some cases reviewed here which should give you an indication http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/cases/phanteks-enthoo-evolv-atx-case-review/

 

 

But i've snipped some info to easily read.

 

Hope it aids in your research.

Ty.

Tbh you can go for nzxt cases since they're all very good for the price, my recommendation for mid towers for cheap r

-nzxt h440

-nzxt s340

-nzxt phantom 240

-cooler master master case pro 5 or 5

-corsair 450D

-fractal design s5

-fractal design r5

I think the cheapest case I listen was the nzxt phantom 240 which is a pretty good case for your money and my friend has one too and he loves it but all these cases are really good to buy and even tho you're trying to not spend a lot for your case just remember to never cheap out on your case because I did cheap out on my case and got a corsair spec-01 case and I want to curb stomp it

A very critical question actually.

Do dell still have their own proprietary motherboard? (I/O shield compatibility)

I came across this elsewhere

All cases these days are pretty much built with removable dust filters and some modularity in mind (such as removable HDD brackets for better airflow etc.).

From that point in on it depends on what you like and if you want to "future proof" your case (future proof in " because there is no such thing...).

Personaly I'm going with a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M acrylic window edition. Brand new case, same as the Pro M, accept the whole side is acrylic so you can see everything.

Buuut because you are only purchasing from this specific webpage (I'm guessing a bundle?) I'd go either with the Corsair C70 or the Coolermaster CM storm 2 if you like going to LANs and need to transport your case quite often, or else if you're willing to add a bit more, go with the Coolermaster Mastercase 5 or Pro 5.

i wanna ask you a few things man , 

 

i got in the witcher 3 , and it ran okay , i got some stuff lowered to get it to 60fps but the temperature.. oh the temperature.. it got to 84 degrees! i got out of the game as fast as i could , i think it wouldve got even higher if i stayed in cause it was on a positive curve. 

will getting a new case help me get the temps lower? i might also need a mobo cause i dont think i have a spare fan connections.. or are the fans get in the psu? i dunno.. im kinda beginner :P , the only thing i can be proud of is changing the psu and gpu cause it was kinda tough with such a small case..
