Budget PC

XeNoNF50 · 24 Apr 2018 at 14:09

I'm building a PC with some of my old parts to donate to my younger cousin. The bit I'm having most trouble with is a case, I don't know what is relatively good. What are the best cheap cases to consider for a full ATX mobo? Feel free to suggest a small capacity SSD for OS, hard drive, monitor and PSU. Will be paired with i5 6600k, z170 asus pro gaming mobo, 8gb ddr4 2400 ram and a gtx 760.

Thanks

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Phanteks Eclipse P300 Glass Midi Tower Case - Black= £47.99

Total: £59.09 (includes shipping: £11.10)

These are really good for the money.

It depends on what you want from the case - airflow, silence or just aesthetics etc

The above case is a good price, but doesn't have good airflow (for example). May not be an issue for GTX 760, but if that's upgraded later it could cause problems.

A bit of all of that I suppose. Silence isnt necessary but something that's not annoyingly loud. It's likely the GPU would be upgraded to something in a recent xx60 range in the next few years.
