I am going to be ordering some new PC parts and a new case is something I will be investing in but I don't have a lot of money left over from the parts I need a good looking case that will be able to fit all of my parts, I would also like it if the case doesn't go over £60

How about the Corsair 300R Windowed Edition?

Just a suggestion if possible I highly recommend going with a 990 chipset on the motherboard. As for the case what size are you looking for? I myself like the cooler master HAF cases. I got one many years ago probably 8 and have enjoyed it since I got it. You can get the HAF 912 currently on newegg for $55 USD and is a mid tower. Any other info on what style you are looking for preferably may help narrow it down.

Yeah, that motherboard is known to overheat and even catch fire. Change it for sure.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of that one catching fire but mental note made. The 990 chipset opens up a lot more and you can get a good Asus or Gigabyte my 2 preferred mobo brands with a 990 chipset for a reasonable price. Especially if you may crossifre or sli in the future. I helped someone here previously that was looking to upgrade but not worth crossifre/sli with 970 chipset on that board because you only get 1/4 of the speed on the second one.

The SLI/ CF thing is not Chipset dependent, but more motherboard dependent. All you need is 2 PCI lanes to run at x8/x8 regardless of chipset. Most all boards that support this for AMD are 990fx chipset boards though.

Are there any low priced 990 chipset motherboards? I don't have lots of money to spend on this

Not as cheap the cheaper ones that I see around ar 90 to 100 USD. You have the Asus M5A99x and MSI has the GD65. Easiest way is if you go to newegg you can sort it down to the chipset it has on the mobo and you can see the models available and go from there on where you want to purchase from and maybe find cheaper deals. I will take a look again later may be able to find a cheaper but better 970 chipset from another company.
