Hi, I'm currently upgrading my PC and need some input on a computer case. I'm only upgrading my CPU, case & motherboard but I haven't ordered any of those yet. I may also purchase a CPU cooler as my current CPU gets extremely loud when playing games and would like to avoid that in the future.
I honestly don't know anything about cases so I'm not sure what I should be looking for. All I know is that I have 4 3.5 inch HDDs in my current PC that I would like to put in to the new case. I also don't really care about the appearance or colour of the case and am more focused on it staying cool.
The smaller the case the better I think as I don't really have much room in this little computer desk that I have. My current case is around 46 x 18 x 41 cm so I'd like it to be around that size but I have room for it to be slightly wider and taller. I could probably move the PC out of the computer desk and have it next to it if I need to have more room.
I'm on a pretty tight budget and don't want to spend that much on the upgrades so I would prefer one that's £30-40 with £50 being the maximum I'd want to go up to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Specs (including parts I intend on purchasing):
CPU: AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core (3.5/4.1GHz)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 660 Windforce OC Edition 2GB
RAM: Kingston 8GB (4x2GB) DDR3 2133MHz HyperX Genesis XMP Memory Kit
PSU: OCZ ZS Series 650W
Let me know if you need any more information if I've missed anything.
