hey, whats your budget? but i wouldn't recommend the sharktoon, i own the t28, its an appealing case in looks, but there aren't much fan options. So i would recommend these

they both have good cooling, and doesn't cut on looks. (i assumed you are Australian, popular cases over here)

Hey, my budget is about £50 (im from england). Thanks for the tip though ill see if i can find them cases on a UK site.

Are you overclocking?

 

[wileman]

I want to yeah, but i don't know how to do it yet though lol. I've been a console gamer for a long time, and i'm making the move to PC now. Thought it would be best to build it myself so i know the parts and i could keep the cost down.

i guessed you meant 500, i didn't include a case fan cause the UK version didn't have the coolermaster evo, And there is heaps of different cases, this was just to get the price total...

but if you can get all of what you got for the same price, go ahead, just swap the psu out for a 500 watt corsair, or just get the seagate HDD, and use that extra, well earned money, in getting a 7870 GPU, that'll let you max out the settings.

 

[wileman]

Thanks man, Seems a better build then what i had with the upgrade on the gpu. Ill get it all ordered now.

With the 3570K you might want a cpu cooler for future overclocking it also extends the life of the cpu
