Hardware Help with a budget pc build.

I'll look into that.

I decided, since it was already a bit over budget with the CPU change, might as well save $100 more and get a nicer case, and the external card reader only costs $15.

I'd recommend either the Design Define R4 , the 300/400R, or the Phantom 410.

Newegg and Tiger Direct have good weekly sales. You might want to watch those sites (or even better, sign up for their e-mails) and wait for a decent case to go on sale. This takes a little bit of time, but if you are open to different brands or have the patience, you can get some rather significant discounts. Also, I've never had a problem with Antex cases, especially the Antec 900. It's a little small, but is otherwise a rather well-built and easy to use case.

Antec 900 isn't as small as the Antec 300 or Antec One. Then again, my Antec 1200 is huge.
