Hey, I'm building my own PC for my first time so I need some advice. I dunno what case should I get (preferably under 70$). Also, I have no idea how should I optimize cooling of my PC.
Components I have chosen for my PC (it's gonna be a gaming PC, I aimed to make it easily upgradeable, if you think that I chose bad, please post):
- Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
- CPU: AMD FX 8350
- RAM: VENGEANCE LP 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz
- Power supply: Corsair RM 650W 80PLUS GOLD
- HDD: Toshiba HDD 1TB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7200RPM
- Garphics card: GTX 760 2GB OC ( Gigabyte or MSI Gaming, probably gonna go with the Gigabyte)
Thanks in advance!
P.S.
When it comes to cooling It doesn't have to be extra silent, I'm using headphones which muffle a bit.

Go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... your build looks solid to me.

I would also take a look at these cases http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=E... it's just the highest rates cases for under $75 on newegg, read some reviews and see if you like any of them.

Its a matter of preference, but I prefer a full tower case. I can use larger 200mm fans that make a little less noise and the big interior is a pleasure to work in. Course, I have a large home office where I can put the thing on the floor at the end of my desk. Some extra long cables and I can't hear it at all from the work area. I just completed a build with with the Overseer case by Thermaltake (now $79 at Newegg). Air cooling will be fine unless you intend to overclock. Choose your graphics card carefully based on the games you intend to run. Some of the higher end games (like BF4) may require more horsepower to get the frame rate you expect. Check out the GPU buyers guide on here for details.
