But i can't think of a good case to buy, i want to keep price down as much as possible but don't know what case would be best. I'm new to this whole thing so would a full tower be better for me so that i have more room to try and fit all the components in?
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I wouldn't either but that is entirely dependent on the situation and the budget. I agree that the Corsair 300R is an excellent choice (although I believe it's been replaced with a new version called the 330R) but for that price there is also:
