Case Help

[Flavio]

Im looking to build a computer for the first time, and i was wondering if anyone can suggest a good case for me. It should be sturdy, not too expensive, and overally good :).

I would like it to come with power supply and cooling and all that good stuff, because i assume that as i dont intend to overclock, these things will be good enough.

You're not going to find a good psu with a case unless you get a mid range Antec case. Period. It doesn't matter whether you're overclocking or not, a generic psu will kill your rig.

For your situation, I reccomend the Lian Li pc-65 case and a Fortron 530 power supply. More than enough oomph and reliability with the power supply, and one of the best built and good looking cases out there with plenty of expansion room, and light because it's all aluminum.

Cool, but how much will it be? Hopefully not too much. I have about $2000 but im saving for university :).

its not bad, i picked them cuz they are some great performing cheaper parts

fortron = $75
lina li = $105

I would say go with this antec, nice case and a good power supply:

ya it depends on how much $$$ he has, the lina li and fortron are both leagues above the antec stuff, but the antec stuff is a lot cheaper and won't kill his machine either.
