Alright, heres the thing. I'm getting a GeForce GTX 1060 GV-N1060G1 GAMING-6GD R2.0 fairly soon, and I was told I'd need to buy a new case and upgrade my cooling.
So I was wondering what would be the best options for me at the moment.Preferably they both should be <100£ (not combined). Sorry if this seems like a "nooby" question. Here are my current specs:
CPU:
Intel Core i5 7600 @ 3.50GHz Kaby Lake 14nm Technology
Motherboard:
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-A/M.2 (LGA1151)
GPU:
ACI VW192 (1440x900@75Hz)
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon R7 200 Series (ATI AIB)
PSU:
Chieftec GPE-600S 600W
 


I can't remember haha, bought this pc long ago, just recently started upgrading it, all i know is that it isnt compatible with the card that im gonna buy
 
I though it could be extra case fan and job done 😀

i don't know what type of case you like. I just list out some I like with various budget

This is good value case. But you would guess you may need extra case fan.
I tends to buy cheap Arctic F12 for around £4, or it would defeat the purpose of getting budget and quiet case.


Cooler master masterbox 5 **pick due to on sale for £35

Thanks pal, these all seem like great picks, what about cooling tho, does it matter which one i choose or can i just pick the one i like the most haha
 


you are also going to need a new power supply

otherwise that chieftec is going to cook
 


All I pick is good value for its performance. It really depends how much you want to spend.

With regard to cooling, I assume you are referring to case fan cooling?
If the case has 2-3 case fans, it usually sufficient.

If you after CPU cooling, probably cheap cryorig m9i

I have no comment on your PSU. I don't know that brand of PSU, can't comment on quality.
 


chieftec doesn't sell quality powersupplies, so that doesn't matter.

heres my recommandation list:

cooling is ridiculous.
 


Corsair CX 2015 is not good quality.

i found a review on OP PSU in german. It seems ok.

Chieftec is horrible, can vouch first hand.

Also, so many languages. That's awesome! Mandarin, Hindi, English, Basic French here.
