Sure give me a bit I'll have a look for something affordable. Are you in the States?
 
As for the case you'll want something that has the ability to add fans like this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811517027
Air flow is very important for overclocking have a look starting here and see if something tickles your fancy , you'll want 2x120 in front 1x120 in the rear and something in the top preferrably 1x120mm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...02&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=30

This is where I would START with a motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873


EDIT: I would also look at gtting something like this as a minimu for CPU cooling if you plan to OC. The stock cooler won't take you very far http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

Also one thing you have to consider on that HP case is the Depth. The deeper the case, the bigger the CPU cooler can be. The specs on that HP case lists the depth @ 6.89 inches, this is from the motherboard back plate. Once you add the standoffs and the motherboard into the mix, you no longer have that 6". Here is a cheap but very good Air cooler. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099, but there's a good chance that It will no fit Your Case. Here is low profile cooler, that was made for HTPC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103204.
 
Sorry about the late response. I was busy with my work. And I tried to cancel the order within 1 hour they said we already shipped out. I couldn't believe that one! Anyway when I check your link, it directs me to same motherboard that I already purchased today are you sure you are talking about the same Asus board that I bought today? ---- Forget about this part, it is my bad!! I see the differences!

As far as the Mid Tower goes i already looked more than 100 towers after talking to you :) Still doesn't know which one to get. And you are telling me it should have 3 or more cooler in it with high air flow?

And some of the mid towers look like the same size of my HP but obviously better cooling features on it!

I am seeing todays deal and there is one I like : what do you guys think about it. It comes with the 2x140 and I can add 1 more 120 to the order?

Its all ur fault Johan, it came to the point I am looking at between In Win 805 vs Phanteks Evolv :D But according to the revies they do have air flow option above the average cases. They are just good for look I guess!

Yes unless you want something bigger. Just make sure it accommodates the ATX form factor and has lots of options for extra fans

I m literally feeling like overclocked with one fan cooled computer case. Burned out after sinking in New Egg Ocean! So I purchased 2 thing at the end.

1- NZXT H440
2- ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

hope that works well for the feature!

The H440 looks like a nice case and the M5A990Fx Pro is a good board for Ocing the 965 on. So you have nothing to worry about.

I am just teasing. I know you do and I really appreciated. I wasn't expecting to upgrade my desktop system since I just purchased 2 (for me and for my wife) hp spectre i7 skylakes. I was just thinking since I had a setup with a nice psu and graphic card to get a nice cpu to play with. But you were right, the new setup will give me much more open window to do more fun for the feature. The main board that I had was at the Max limit. 965 the latest one you can put, hd7870 the max limit you can put in and 16gb was the max I can get.

I guess I can get the latest amd cpus with this new board and I can upgrade till 64gb and also can upgrade to a decent graphic card in the feature with the nice cable cable management case!

Thank you. I really burned out yesterday and try to get a nice case about 4-5 hours there is really nice looking cases but are those really functioning well for OCing? So i didn't want to leave my purpose of purchase but I didn't wanted get a chipy plastic ones since I do have hp p6230y case. The case is not the one gets HAF like some CorsAir does but i think it is really better than In Win 805 as far as the cooling goes. And i am not planiing to get a liquid cooling system either so I needed good air cooling system and by the time I was ready to order, I said let me check the asus board what can I get the best of it. So pro looks pretty good according to the gigs :)
 
sangria I'm going to try and seperate your posts from this thread since you really should have one of your own. That ram looks just like it is cheap
 
Yes I know they are cheap but if they work fine what do you think? Should I use them for awhile?
 
What do you need 16 g of ram for? More isn't better for ram unless you utilize it. If it were my money I'd get something like these. Who knows what those sticks you posted are or will do, I don't even see timings listed for them.
 
So what is the downside of using this rams? If it is going to damage the system, i am ready to refuse the package... Timing says CL9. Voltage: 1.5
