Yeah, case is one of the last important parts. I have a Rosewill with three fans and other accessories that i bought from newegg for $40 i think. great case. I could do without the blue fan though, lol.
i3 2120
8gb 1600 RAM
560ti OC
60GB patriot SSD
250 GB HD from another computer
DVD from another computer
AZROCK z98 pro3m ( i think)
thermaltake 500W PSP
No issues and i can easily upgrade to an i7 proc next year if i want.
Got it all for $650 with rebates and a lot of newegg deal searching!
