Currently looking for a case, most likely a small case while leaving enough room for airflow and easy to upgrade (space to move my hands about in). I was hoping for one below £50 (preferably off of Amazon.co.uk) Thanks!  My components are: R7 370 GPU, FX 6350 CPU, any atx/ micro atx motherboard, 1tb HDD and ram.

200r_hero_up.png iwould go for corsair carbide 200r easy for a new builder and a really clean look you could go with stealth if the sound is an issue but less air cooling

Now if you are for some lan parties you could go for an micro atx and have an  bitfenix prodigiy m or go with haf xb evo if you want a full blown atx lan box (im gonna buy it soon) <3 but those are a bit more expensive atleast in sweden

case and board (am3+) total price around £80-£90 should be good

i guess micro atx it is cuz with that tight budget you will just end up with an low end mobo that can be outpreformade but an micro atx i belive

What does an atx board have that a micro atx does not?

sli and crossfire and better air flow so the board does not sit so tight aka if you have 2 gpus so they dont sit tight togheter and sometimes sli and crossifre is good for budget people and and atx has more ports and more pci lanes and somtimes more ram lanes which is always good for expansions and more. idk it feels like micro atx is a wierd form factor so if your going micro might aswell go for atx and get the *full package*but if your going mini and want sometime portable sure
