Hello, apologies if this is in the wrong thread.
I would like advice on a suitable case, and extra cooling (past stock fans/heatsinks) if you feel it necessary, for the following system. Feel free to be as expansive as you like, totally new at this. Water cooling is not practical for me, im quite comfortable with fan noise (so long as its not ridiculous) The main consideration is sufficient cooling of the components.
I do not plan on any serious overclocking, for the time being at least. Possibly in the distant future but not at the moment.
(the xigmatek asgard has been recommended) and im assuming a bog-standard 'black ATX tower case' will not be sufficient.
CPU: i7 2600K 3.4GHZ
MB: Asus P8P67 LE (Rev. 3)
RAM: 8.0GB Corsair DDR3 1600mhz XMS3
HDD; 1TB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB
Onboard Audio
PSU; 500W xigmatek
In brief, what is the cheapest case that will be adequate (aesthetics are not a concern), and do you feel that a non-stock CPU heatsink is advisable?
Also, is S-ATAIII worth the extra few coins? Thankyou in advance for you help.
