What CPU though? That matters a lot for motherboard. Do you have the rest of the build already or something?

 

Either way, Corsair makes decent low budget cases, Seasonic and XFX make good cheap PSU's and I can't comment on motherboard yet and CPU cooler.. Well can't really comment on that either.

Pff, you're not about all the details are you..

Well, as for CPU.. I'm just gonna assume you don't have a K CPU, so some H81 motherboard by for example AsRock would be fine. Just check if it has enough RAM slots for you, otherwise you might want to move up to H97.

As for case, I wouldn't exactly know what to recommend, I have never really been good with cases.

And CPU cooler, if you have a locked LGA 1150 series CPU, it comes with a stock cooler and you could just use that. If you still would like an aftermarket cooler, you could look into the Cryorig M9i (make sure you get the i cooler, not a).

What is your CPU (not the socket, the actual CPU e.g. i3 4130)? Did you buy it yet?

If you want to reply back to me or someone else USE THE QUOTE BUTTON!

Yeah, H81 should be fine. I know another guy with an i5 4460 and an H81 motherboard and he has no complaints. With a single 8GB DDR3 stick you're fine too, you can always add another 8GB stick if you want 16GB RAM :)

Use the included cooler. If you didn't buy it yet just get a i5 6400 or i5 6500, it's usually at the same price.
