I am looking for a good chassis/motherboard combo. I want something that will work with getting an i5-2500k and the hyper 212 cooler. I figured that cooler would require a cutout and I haven't seen many that price range with good reviews. Motherboards I've been picky about I want to find one that I can use for a long time with little too no hassle. I know computer stuff but I don't have the time these days to spend hours trying to fix some random problem. I've seen a few motherboards under $200 hat seemed decent but wasn't too sure on them. anyone know best combination I can get. figure I'd want the motherboard under $150 as well. On a bad budget atm so cheaper best quality the better. I will over-clock as well obviously.

some cases I found that where on a newegg sale

They're really cheap but I was looking at them cause they're on one of neweggs sales.

Also I got an email token for 20% off a lian li case if there's any suggestions for those I saw a few but wasn't sure of that brand..
 
The Hyper 212+ will fit in the Antec 300 and the Cooler Master HAF 912 (owned the 300).

I'd take a look at the Asus P8P67 LE and the ASRock Extreme4 P67 boards. They're about $150 and the ASRock board will support SLI/Crossfire and OCs better.
