Need motherboard and new PC case

DredFX

Hi,

I'm looking to buy an Intel i5 3570k. I need a new motherboard for it and a new PC case, as my old one is damaged.

My budget is €350. Any suggestions?


My current specs are:
1 Terabyte Hard Disk
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Nvidia GeForce 2GB GTX660Ti
AMD FX 4100 - 4 Cores - 3.6Ghz
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz Memory
Antec 520w High Current Gamer Power Supply

EDIT: My current PC case is a CiT Mars Midi Tower.

The best cases around €100 are Nanoxia DS2, Cooler Master CM 690 III and Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

The Asrock Z77 pro3 or pro4 are great boards for that processor.

For cases I'd go with the Nanoxia deep silence 1 or 2 or a Fractal Design R4.

Bit of haggling and check the MB supports Ivybridge and jobs a gudan!

Not my ad BTW just sprang to mind. Lots of 600Ts on adverts these days, personally I think its a case of epicness, even if it is a bit old.

Hi, lads.

I've decided on the following:

Taking my rig (first post) into consideration, would the aforementioned items be compatible?

Yes there fine but if you plan to overclock the CPU you will need a 3570k version.

DredFX

Right so, I'll buy the 3570k version. That will be compatible as well, I take it?

Yes it is.
If overclocking though it would be wise to buy a better cooler than the intel stock ones.

Grab one of these if you don't have a good cooler already.
