Question What case to go with this AMD build?

[jemf7sk]

So I've got everything picked out but the case. What is a nice, inexpensive case that would fit this build below? Please recommend fans too if needed to keep everything quiet and cool. I don't need anything special as long as everything fits good and stays quiet and cool.

Forewarning: the B450 is not Ryzen 3000 ready out of the box(unless it specifically says so on the box).
So, if you choose to continue with that mobo, do you have a PC shop nearby, or a friend with an older Ryzen 1000 or 2000 that can update the bios for you?
If not, you will have to request a boot kit from AMD when you receive the board.

Ditch the Msi Evoke, unless you know your way around the insides of a gpu. Take a look at these:

The Sapphire model is a better build.

Hey thanks Phaaze88... I've seen some cases that were around $20 cheaper that I liked but I've seen this case you recommended on some videos and liked it so I might get it. As I understand that B450 has a flash bios button to flash it without a CPU. Is that what you mean by a boot kit? I thought I could just download it on a USB drive?

Well, I hope the Evoke is not too loud because I've already ordered it. I got tired of waiting for something without a blower to become available... it can't be that bad.

I'm liking these two.. will they work?

Oh! Well, disregard what I said about the bios thing then. That bios flashback button is available on a limited number of motherboards. I'd forgotten about it.
I'd meant something else entirely about the boot kit. See here: https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-offers-free-‘boot-kit’-for-struggling-ryzen-3000-owners.html

No. The B450 Tomahawk is an ATX motherboard. It won't fit in either of those cases.
If you try to select either of those cases for your PCpartpicker build, neither shows up, indicating their incompatibility.

The NZXT H500 or the Phanteks Eclipse P350X are two brilliant cases. With excellent airflow, radiator support and under 100 if that’s what your going for.

Yeah, I think you all have talked me into it.. I've seen several different people on youtube use it in their builds too. I'm not sure what is so special about it but I will play it safe and buy it. Thanks everyone!
