O.K. I`ll have a look at some case`s but I think you should stick with amazon as you are in the U.K.???? because of the fact that I know should you want to change anything for any reason (broken or not) they will take it back,theirs a law called distant sellers act which allows you to return stuff from the internet or mail order with in 14 days just because you have looked the goods over and have chosen not to keep them. if you were to order Saturday I would think it will turn up by Thursday with the supersaver options at no extra cost.

check this

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BitFenix-Merc-Alpha-Tower-Chassis/dp/B005JRICNG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405723110&sr=8-1&keywords=bitfenix+merc+alpha

for the price it good Only draw backs i can see is does not have a front usb3 socket and only comes with 1 fan but plenty of places to put more in after,I have a bit fenix Shinobi and it `s not a bad case and the review for the alpha seem to be excellent considering it on £29.99.

Amazon is always the first place i look for pc stuff just because I had a usb2 tv pvr and I had it for 30 days and I could not get it to work properly it kept freezing every 15 second and then found out it had a issue with my nfore4 mobo they took it back and gave me a full refund and it is usually the cheapest place for new stuff just have to check that other are not cheaper

the xfx 850 psu was just an example of what to type into Google i knew from experience it would come up with loads of reviews for you to get an idea of what to type in. I think the the corsair RM 650 would be plenty for what you want or an XFX 650 core edition,the RM is more efficient and I don't think the fan runs up until you system is at 60% load both appear to be about the same price or you could go for the corsair cx750m and save a extra £10

O.K. that`s great let me know when it all turns up by this thread and I`ll walk you through the building as most of the manuals are on line and can flip through and direct you to the pages you need if u get stuck. If you can`t wait to get stuck in just remember to discharge yourself of static charge by touching the copper tube on the radiator or the metal on the taps of the sink,once done you should be safe to touch the components. if you move a lot static charge will build over time so if you go to make a cup of tea and a sandwich just discharge yourself again before touching your build

[beefy]

yeah you right, he need`s the spec 3 or the bit fenix merc alpha or he could get a smaller cooler master heat sink but the 212evo is regarded as the best at that price point

Ok I wanna ask when I boot a windows wat keyboard is gonna work a ps2 keyboard or usb cse in this motherboard there is only one ps2 port at the back I dont wanna buy a usb keyboard and fins out it wont work at boot up for windows. Wat u guys say

 

[beefy]

a usb keyboard and mouse should work out of the box as long as you plug it in the back of the mobo in 1 of the usb2 slot

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

USB will be fine.
