ok so at present here are my specs
GPU = r9 280x sapphire toxic
CPU = fx 8350
CPU Cooler = Stock fx 8350 cooler
PSU = coolermaster g750m
Mobo = asrock 970 Extreme3 R2.0 (yes i know its crap)
ram - 12 gb of random sticks 4gb X3
2 seagate 1tb barracudas
and the case is a CM force 500

now my system runs quite hot in fact its worrying how hot it gets and the case is horrible
what i am hoping to do here is get a few people throwing case suggestion ideas to me here and maby a few motherboard ideas cause the asrock is poor now my budget is 80 euro for a case and it is slightly flexible suggestions for improving cooling would be appreciated too
 
Everyone seems to love the Hyper 212 Evo, it's nice and cheap and fits AM3+. I don't know about how much it costs in Europe, but in the US, the Cooler Master HAF 922 is $89.99 with a $10.00 rebate. My friend has the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, and it's worked out just fine for him. I'm an Intel guy myself, but he says it's quite nice.
 


thanks for that mate really like the look of that case and its actually pretty cheap between that and an evo 212 cooler i should be sorted got any suggestions on a cheap ish reliable fan ?
