Nicholas N · Apr 25, 2014

Here is the build i'm looking to get

Does anyone have a case suggestion for around $50 dollars or less? I would like USB 3.0.
Also, what do you guys think of the build itself? I am at my max budget so I can't go any higher with a case. Also do I need to get any extra fans? Thanks guys! Excited about my first build!

Antec ONE $35

But dont use that motherboard . The older chipset is not ideal for an FX processor and overclocking will be very limited
This

is the absolute cheapest acceptible mb for an FX processor
and this

is better , but still cheap

The Corsair 200R is a good case just in your price range, changed the mobo to Asrock Extreme3 R2, Changed PSU to Corsair CX (not great quality, about the same level as the EVGA in the original build but cheaper after mail in rebate).

Very good build for the price .

Personally I'd still prefer the Antec ONE case , but thats really personal choice
