Hi All,

Currently looking at completing my build but can't for the life of me decide on which case to use.

Currently thinking of these, unsure which is best? or anymore recommendations.

Bearing in mind I'm a first time builder so easy to build in would be nice.

Budget £80 or under, cheaper would be nice. :D

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £143.18 (includes shipping: £13.20)

What size are you components inside? Motherboard mainly... The P350X is very tidy, has some fancy RGB lights on and a lot of space to work inside...

If you have MATX or smaller I do like the look of the Fractal Design Meshify C Mini Dark TG at £80 it's very smart with the Tempered glass it really sets it off I think but saying that it's your choice but that's what I'd choose :)
 
both are fine. If i had a choice i would go for the P400 , 1 extra fan included and better airflow, plus full glass side panel

Ah yes sorry was going to put the rest of the spec here you go.

ATX mobo currently but haven't purchased it yet.

I'm currently thinking P400 Air.

Plus Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
 
Have you checked the PSU will be powerful enough, I know its an obvious thing but many people do make the mistake and are then left scratching their head when there's an issue... The P400 is a nice case is it mesh like at the front for intake?

Yes according to a well known website build will be 394W. Do you think I would be better upping it to 750W?
 
Matt_West_Mids said:
Exactly thanks for that. :)

Case wise thinking P400 Air is going to be best unless there's any further suggestions?

Well there is the NZXT H500 but it seems to have poor airflow for intake as the front panel doesn't have much breath holes... I think for your price range we've pointed out the best bets
 
Matt_West_Mids said:
Agreed defiantly more choices around this price point than there was previously as well. :confused::D

I was in the same position as you a few months back with my current build... I ended up going for the Fractal Design Focus G in white but now I'm considering going ITX.... I had a ITX build before and it looked so tidy
