So I am on a fairly tight budget. With only 700 bucks to spend (only 600 for actual parts, I still need an OS), I am going with an amd system.
Originally, I planned to spend about 70 bucks on the case. One that isn't too high end, but that looks "cool" and has nice features (CM Storm Enforcer). But I was looking on cooler master's site and found that they had a refurbished HAF X for only 99 bucks, which is an amazing deal considering its usual price at around 200 bucks. I realize that it may seem like complete overkill for my budget, and that I will never fully utilize all its features, but again, it is literally half off. Additionally, a nice case like that with amazing airflow might be nice since the phenom ii x4 965 does run fairly hot (with a very loud stock fan). Anyhow, I realize i might just be being swayed just because of how good the deal is. I guess I just want some second opinions. Is this a stupid idea? Or is it worth spending another 30 or so bucks on just the case?
Here's a link to the case:
