Hey, building a new computer for the first time and ive run into trouble with the case i have atm, my motherboard wont fit in it :P, didnt realise this would be a problem so looks like im gonna be needing a new case, is there anything i should be looking out for? not looking to spend a lot, under 50 pounds i hope, 2nd hand would be okay aswell, the spec of my computer atm :

AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1055T 2.80GHz (Socket AM3) -
MSI 870A-G54 AMD 870 (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard
Antec TruePower New Modular 650W Power Supply
Patriot Viper 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit x2
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM

Thanks :)
 
Your motherboard is a standard ATX mobo so most cases should fit it unless stated otherwise, (if in doubt just look for ATX in the description of the case), the coolermaster is a great choice, but personally I'd stay away from £20-30 cases as they just won't have the cooling of more expensive cases.
