Hello everyone,

I will assemble my first PC and I have already bought some of the components.
However, I am not sure about wich case (mATX) and cooler (air) should be used.
These are the components that I have so far:

- [CPU] I7 7700K
- [RAM] G.Skill Trident Z (2x8GB)
- [MOBO] MSI Z270M Mortar
- [PSU] Seasonic S12II 620W 80Plus Bronze

I will decide on the GPU after the release of the RX Vega cards.
To provide a little bit of context, I am not an OC enthusiast, so I may try a moderated one.

My budget is 60€-80€ for the case (100€ if the case is amazing) and 50€-70€ for the cooler.
Some people suggested my these cases:
- Thermaltake Core V21 (https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Micro-Computer-Chassis-CA-1D5-00S1WN-00/dp/B00PDDMN6S)
- SilverStone KL06B (https://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Micro-ATX-Mini-DTX-Mini-ITX-KL06B/dp/B00U8IS4IY)

Nevertheless, if you have any other recommendation, please, let me know.
Thanks in advance.
