Hi, so I wanted a case for the following setup: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VNXT4D

My budget is around 80-100 dollars if it less much better but by no means more than that.

If possible don't link me to any page just tell me the full case name and if there are several options all the better.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

i don't know about cases, but i've ammended your build on some important points:
- cheaper equivalent CPU
- Better PSU

And the most important: a G-sync monitor for the same money. I can't stress enough how important this is. I will never buy a monitor without adaptive-sync technology.

Hi, thanks for the repy.
For starters it'd seems said CPU isn't available on my country. No wonder really.
Then again I'm not particulate worried about that but the whole better PSU made me wonder how's a 520W better than a 600W? The PSU names is pretty god damn long so the answer may be included in it but at any rate could you tell me the differences and how the PSU you tell me about is better than the other?

Thanks.

520W is sufficient(your build only draws about 350 max). It's about the quality of teh components and the build. Seasonic is a reputable manufacturer so you are guaranteed no troble with the s12ii 520w(a bad quality PSU can end up frying alot more expensive components in your build).
Too bad that that CPU is not available there as you would have saved some cash. Keep looking maybe you'll find it.
Anyway, the single most important observation is about the G-sync monitor. i STRONGLY suggest you get into that.

So I looked into the whole monitor business and at least I cant tell you which model I currently have: http://www.lg.com/hk_en/monitor/lg-23EA63V
Could you tell me based on that if it's good enough?
If the answer is no... well I'm not sure what to do... since all other components that I'm planning to buy plus the monitor would be too much money. Should be the case what alternatives do I have.

I'm not that knowledgeable in Monitors so others can help better, I guess...

I didn't notice what PSU you're using but I completely agree that you shouldn't buy PSUs under $50 (unless you're very limited). In my opinion it's OK to cut off some of the parts for the PSU. Better PSUs usually have a better lifetime, better voltage ripple and less chance of instability.

That monitor will do for now if you already own it. Buy another when you can afford it, but you need to make a choice now. If you get a Nvidia GPU, your monitor will have to suport G-sync whitch means a higher price than monitors supporting AMD's FreeSync. Personally, i would get an R9 390 over the 970 as it's a bit more powerful, has more VRAM and, like i said, monitors wiht Freesync are cheaper.
