So I am currently in the process of specing up a new PC and I am in a bit of a quandary about a case. I'm not looking for anything super expensive, something around the £60 mark. I have found a few I like, but I am having difficulty deciding between them.

So far I like the look of

Fractal Core 3000
Xigmatek Midgard II
Nanoxia Deep Silence 2
Fractal Arc Midi

Anyone got any opinions on any of these cases and which one they prefer?

There is also the Fractal R4, but that is around £15 more than most of the cases I have looked at. Is it worth the extra £15 or am I better off sticking with one of the above?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
what type of components do you have in your build, do you plan on using air cooling, or maybe aclosed loop cooler like the H series, custom loop, etc.
we can give you a better idea of what will suit your needs more if you give us a few more details of what you want to put in the case.
 
I plan to use air cooling and will be putting a i5 4670K which I plan to mildly overclock to 4.2ghz. It will also have a couple of hardrives an SSD and a dvd drive. Plus a 660ti

I do have an option to get a Cooler Master Seidon 120M bundled in with a motherboard for a good price, but I'm not sure if it is any good and I've read it is a bit loud.

Sorry I meant the Arc Midi R2. Just on specs and options alone, but looks are your own choice. It is you that has to have it sitting next to you, so take time have a look at images you can find on google and decide.
 
If you're not looking for a quiet build then I'd discount the Nanoxia and the Define R4, you pay a bit extra for the quietening and their cooling performance is traded off against silencing.

If you do want a quiet build, then they are definitely worth a look.
