Phenom II X4 955/Gigabyte UD3H/4GB Patriot Sector 5 PC3-12800 /Sapphire HD 5850/Asus Xonar DX/Intel 80GB M SSD/Seagate Barracuda 1TB /LG 8x Blu-Ray Reader/Antec P183/Corsair 650W ATX/Samsung T240 24" LCD

The above is my current build.
Unfortunately I dropped and damaged my case .
What replacement case would people recommend?
Should I upgrade my motherboard, processor and RAM for office tasks, voice recognition, surfing the net, listening to music?
Possibly video editing in future?

cheers
 
I wouldn't pair that motherboard and CPU up (even if you weren't OCing).

The 8***'s run silly watts under load even at stock, so atleast a 970/990X build!
 
that would be upsetting, thanks for coming to the rescue :D an 8320 seems like it would be the right kind of thing for the OP though. Just need to find a solid AM3+ MITX board. (If he wants M-ITX that is)
 
Lian Li A10-B...

Very cheap at £89 and has the Lian Li build quality to go with it.

Also has a separate lower compartment for HDD's and PSU just like your old case.
 
The questions of upgrades all depends on you if you feel that your current rig performs to the standard that you are ok with keep it and do not upgrade.

however if you feel that to you it does not serve its purpose anymore then you should and all you have to do is give us a budget and will can spec you an upgrade for your consideration.
 
I've got a Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced and absolutely love it. The only trouble I've got is that it won't take two 3 slot GPU's :( but then that's party due to my Motherboard layout and not the case. . .
