    The 200r is same price as the nanoxia deep silence 3. Get the nanoxia.

    If budget tight maybe get the Thermaltake Berlin 630. 46.80

    But that depends where you buying from.

    Difference overall is you get an i7 with very little compromise.

    Will need a dedicated cooler, say 28 euro coolermaster Hyper evo 212. Either way get one for i5 Or i7. Can get a MSI z97 board for 100 to cancel this cost.

    And DVD drive 15

    Thanks sterling i thought there wasent really much of a difference on i5 vs i7 when it came to gaming proformance?

    Thanks sterling i thought there wasent really much of a difference on i5 vs i7 when it came to gaming proformance?

    When it comes to nearly same price, I would definitely take the very slight compromises above and get the i7.
