What is a good case for my system?

[Ely G]

Hello this is my first thread. I need your help to decide which case best suits for the system that I will build. I would like to have a good air flow because I don't like my system over heating, and I don't plan on adding a GPU and HDD anymore. These are the specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS Motherboard
CPU: AMD FX-6300 will overclock to 4.2ghz
CPU COOLER: COOLER MASTER HYPER 212X evo
GPU: R9 270X 2G OC
RAM: KINGSTON HYPERX BLU 4GB 1600MHZ
HDD: WD 1TB blue
PSU: AEROCOOL STRIKE-X 600W 80+ BRONZE

I am thinking which of these 3 cases will be good:
Aerocool rs-9
Antec three hundred
Antec one

It will be good if you suggest me a case too. If possible only cases from here http://pcx.com.ph/components/chassis.html or the one I can buy in the Philippines. Thanks.

Any of these would do the job easily for your requirements:

I don't need to place a fan in all the fan mounts, right?

Is 2 front fan(intake), 1 side(intake), and 1 top(intake) good enough? I'm planning to have a positive air flow.

EDIT or top isn't that much of importance?

I would change the PSU first 😛 It's a tier four PSU in the PSU tier list.

For a cheaper and good looking case with good airflow, I would suggest a Corsair spec 2/3.

Good configuration. You don't need fan at every mounting place. Though, 2 intakes and one rear would be good enough for you. I thought this thread is all about PC Case which is why I did not comment on the specs.

Corsair SPEC-03, I think its a Philippines website: http://dynaquestpc.com/product/corsair-carbide-spec-03-mid-tower-chassis/

Yup as Bluemoon mentioned I advise changing the PSU to something like this:

http://pcx.com.ph/components/power-supply/seasonic-s12ii-520-520w-80-bronze.html

Grab this PSU from Seasonic and you will be good with it

What do you mean? I have no particular knowledge about PSU.

Thanks for all your replies everyone. I highly appreciated it.

"Tier four - Not for overclocking systems or high end gaming rigs. May not even output labeled power and fail standard ATX specifications slightly. May even use cheap components to meet a price "


Your PSU is not one to be used in overclocking or stressful situations. It may blow up damaging your other components.

Really thanks for saving me there!

Thanks! You also gave me a cheaper source because I am kinda tight on budget and still saving up for my build. 😀


I accidentally clicked the best solution. Lol

Best Solution un-selected. Good Luck with your build.
