Need help picking components!

[Dizzyhitman]

I am looking for a case for about 50-70$

Anyone other cases better than this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133298

Is this a good enough power supply for an i5 3570k and a 7870?

Still looking for a good replacement motherboard any recommendation would be nice.

Enthoo Pro M has a PSU shroud, nice cable management. So you should only see the cables coming from the cable management holes. Overall good build quality, nice case to work with and has better airflow potential than many other cases in this price range. The EVGA GQ 650w is decent value for the price, better value any day than the Seasonic S12G 550w has to be said.

I bought an evga power supply and I think destroyed my motherboard. So, I would prefer to avoid that brand but ill read reviews. Any suggestion on motherboards and ill check that case out. Ty for the your suggestion so far.

Basically, the EVGA brand in particular shouldn't matter to you. What should matter is that model that you've bought and who made it. The GQ series is high quality and suitable for use in a high-end setup. Durable power supply with solid capacitors and great build quality.

Quoted from Jonny Guru's review:

• 
  
  excellent voltage stability
  awesome low load efficiency
  very good ripple control
  excellent build quality

Certainly don't expect us to suggest bad power supplies.

Review of the EVGA GQ 650w:

If you bought a cheaper EVGA power supply, such as the W1 or B1, like EVGA 430w or EVGA 500B it would explain the problems you had with it. They are cheaped-out power supplies made by HEC.

I didn't think Evga is a bad manufacturer just try to avoid brand that have burned me but I see your point.

Ok, that's your choice. Take a look at the XFX XTR 550w (Rebranded Seasonic G unit).

However, do realise that you have bought that poor EVGA power supply before hand. It failing on you might have been an error on your side, rather than on EVGA, for example powering way too powerful components with a PSU, like the EVGA 500B. I'm just guessing though.

 

[Dizzyhitman]

I know and it might have just been bad luck. I read reviews and compared rating and sea sonic has just as many falling reviews as Evga. I am just a bit wary after the whole ordeal didn't mean to be rude and sorry if I came off that way. Ill check that one out as well and Ty for the advice.

Do you know any good lga 1155 motherboard?

 

[Dizzyhitman]

Think about getting this motherboard? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23BW70?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Any better option that are cheaper or is this the best I can hope for?

The MSI Z97 PC Mate is an LGA 1150 motherboard and is not compatible with the i5-3570k. The good LGA 1155 motherboards nowadays cost a lot of money. The ones you could buy for 80-90 dollars a couple of years ago now cost over 150 dollars. Only Intel has some LGA 1155 ATX motherboards going for an ''okay'' price:

I bought psu, case, and some case. I am planning to get intel new cpu and a better motherboard because they want to much for sandy bridge that can overclock decently. Ty for the help.
