I'm looking to get one for my first build.

Do OC order in cases as I'm trying to wean myself away from the big site. If not can anyone think of a similar mATX case they have?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

PS
On a scale of 1-10 how achievable is this water-cooling for a noob and at what price?

Watercooling isn't cheap :(
Gpu block usually around £100~120
Good pump/res combo
Like an ek xres £120~150 rgb
Being the higher end of that
Cpu block £50~80
Then radiators, fittings, tubing etc
So unless get 2nd hand stuff
It's a few hundred quid
Just for the watercooling
 
Thanks, was maybe thinking I could get away with £300.

Then you would have to factor in the extra tools..heatgun etc.and also the fact I'd likely mess it up and have to rebuy components.

Would you go for AIO in the case or just Air?

Mid ranged components and won't be OC'd?

£300 you would need some 2nd hand
Parts
Usually if shop around radiators can
Be had cheaply
So can hard line tool kits
Heat gun, mandrels /bending guides
Silicone insert etc
Lot of people sell the tools after
They finish their build
If not a really hot cpu 9900k
For example probably would go
Air cooler
If something like 9900k would
Go for AIO personally
