Hi
I have about 400 $ to get a CPU , a Motherboard and a case
I want the core i5 4690k and the cooler master N400
with either this or that
So i was wondering if i can put the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in their N400 case or not

If you have any other suggestions for this build please tell me

P.S. I don't want any thing from AMD only Intel

With that budget, you could probably go up to the latest Intel Skylake Cpu's, unless you are sticking with Haswell Refresh because you already have the Ram.

That case isn't that great, honestly. I think you could find a similar case with nicer features for the same price.

Different motherboard, but great price for the Extreme 6 which is an extremely(punny) good motherboard. I just did a build with this case and I was impressed. If I didn't like the side windows so much, I'd buy one of these myself.

You won't need a custom cooler unless you buy a "K" chip.

You could go with something like this:

Motherboard: Asus H170 PRO GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($102.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($30.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($64.95 @ Directron)
Total: $390.91

I assume this is for gaming and that you will have a separate GPU.

Here are some other nice cases to consider:

If you want something budget, the Corsair 200R is a standard for bang for your buck.
