What is a good case for my system?

Ely G · Aug 16, 2014

Hello this is my first thread. I need your help to decide which case best suits for the system that I will build. I would like to have a good air flow because I don't like my system over heating, and I don't plan on adding a GPU and HDD anymore. These are the specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS Motherboard
CPU: AMD FX-6300 will overclock to 4.2ghz
CPU COOLER: COOLER MASTER HYPER 212X evo
GPU: R9 270X 2G OC
RAM: KINGSTON HYPERX BLU 4GB 1600MHZ
HDD: WD 1TB blue
PSU: AEROCOOL STRIKE-X 600W 80+ BRONZE

I am thinking which of these 3 cases will be good:
Aerocool rs-9
Antec three hundred
Antec one

It will be good if you suggest me a case too. If possible only cases from here http://pcx.com.ph/components/chassis.html or the one I can buy in the Philippines. Thanks.

Any of these would do the job easily for your requirements:

I don't need to place a fan in all the fan mounts, right?

Is 2 front fan(intake), 1 side(intake), and 1 top(intake) good enough? I'm planning to have a positive air flow.

EDIT or top isn't that much of importance?

I would change the PSU first

It's a tier four PSU in the PSU tier list.

For a cheaper and good looking case with good airflow, I would suggest a Corsair spec 2/3.

Ely G :

Good configuration. You don't need fan at every mounting place. Though, 2 intakes and one rear would be good enough for you. I thought this thread is all about PC Case which is why I did not comment on the specs.

Corsair SPEC-03, I think its a Philippines website: http://dynaquestpc.com/product/corsair-carbide-spec-03-mid-tower-chassis/

Yup as Bluemoon mentioned I advise changing the PSU to something like this:

http://pcx.com.ph/components/power-supply/seasonic-s12ii-520-520w-80-bronze.html

Grab this PSU from Seasonic and you will be good with it

Bluemoon_9 :

What do you mean? I have no particular knowledge about PSU.

Thanks for all your replies everyone. I highly appreciated it.

"Tier four - Not for overclocking systems or high end gaming rigs. May not even output labeled power and fail standard ATX specifications slightly. May even use cheap components to meet a price "

Your PSU is not one to be used in overclocking or stressful situations. It may blow up damaging your other components.

Thanks for this info

Bluemoon_9 :

Really thanks for saving me there!

SethJPC :

Thanks! You also gave me a cheaper source because I am kinda tight on budget and still saving up for my build.

I accidentally clicked the best solution. Lol
