i have just started buying parts for a new build, at the moment i have, a asrock extreme 4 motherboard, XFX 650W psu, gtx460 1gb graphics card, so all i need now is a case and ram,, so what case would u recomend, that has true usb3 sockets on front and back, and is well ventelated, and is in the region of 50-60 pound ?

The Antec P280 seems to come highly recommended but a little over your budget at £65.

so what u saying that the antec is a better case ?

not just 5 pound more, but 9 pound to deliver too, so a lot more than just 5 pound more

Thats a tight budget mate.
Fractal core 3000 or antec one or the 300 would be where my money goes though.
I'd save a little longer and get something a little better that will last you a lot longer.

The Zalman is OK looks like a revamped Zalman Z9+ which is a good case.

Also the BitFenix Shinobi, which can be 'accessorized'.

The Carbide 300R is a nice functional case.

The Carbide and Zalman are on the smaller scale, the P280 is on the larger scale, the Shinobi in the middle.

It's still around £6 difference as you will have shipping fees with the zalman as well (about a pound difference between the two shipping costs).

Just put a computer together with a BitFenix Shinobi, was rather impressed with the case, only snag, I thought was the hdd mounting, but if they are going to stay put, its a neat case, lots of ventilation.
