Building a new PC

[Dan Reast]

Hi guys,

I've just got some money to play with (about £400) and I'm wanting to upgrade my pc.

Currently I've got an XFX R9-290 Double Dissipation card, but I want to upgrade the CPU/Motherboard and Case. I've been looking into getting i5's and they seem really good for their prices. The reason I want to change the case is because in my current Mid Tower I have really bad heat and air control, so I would like a Full Tower.

Can you guys recommend any really good processors/motherboards, and full cases? I already have a 750W PSU.

A little more RAM than you need.
