I am happy with everything now apart from the case. I built a few PC's a few years ago but nothing recently and never mATX.
I think mATX will be better as it's quite a simple machine, and I am not putting any HDD or DVD. I still find this wierd!
Looking at CX600M it looks good although this 'fish tank' style seems to look best with an AIOwhich would up the budget by £30 which would be ok and my boy would love it although I understand it would not offer any performance benefit. The downside seems to be they are quite wide as power supply goes in send chamber behind motherboard. Never built anything like that but i'd manage.
Otherwise something like the Lian 207 is more traditional style but fans seem cheap and not good at running slowly apparently.
Any other case suggestions?
