hello, thanks for the reply, i would probably prefer a better looking windowed case as i would rather have it look good, i have always wondered if a branded monitor is a better option such as a samsung or an asus ? or does the brand not matter ?

Will games will you be playing?
If you're waiting a couple of month's a lot will have changed come then, AMD have new cards coming out soon etc.

You'd be better off waiting or if you have some of the budget now, relating to what games you play we may be able to spec you a simple gaming machine for now that's cheaper.

Also you already have this thread:

Simcity you could run off a £600 budget tbh with AMD, I asked as you won't need to spend that much if you're only playing a few games & doing coursework. I'd wait till you have a decent budget, £600 would be enough for what you need tbh, as below:

IIyama is one of the most respected monitor manufacturers out there.

The case choice is a subjective one. If you want windowed then perhaps look at the Corsair or Parvum Systems cases. They are well built, but make sure you get one with front USB 3.0.

i would be willing to pay parvum quite a bit if they were to make a custom full or midi case, do they do things such as that ?
