Cases are always personal preferance. Right now i am planning a build with the Corsair 600T Case

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139005

There are two, this one is the white edition.

Thanks. The Corsair 600T is too big. Im lookin for a compact and lightweight one
whats up with the too many ang big fans? What if i will not be using overclock

 

[StrangleHold]

The NZXT Beta EVO is a good little case. Just need to add a back 120 fan.

The HAF series are great cases. Pretty much, you want one that looks good to you, has the amount of space you want, (I like cases that I can buy another one and have a vacation home) and has cable management.

is it reasonable to invest in a case worth as much as your processor?
If so how long do you guys upgrade or change computer cases?

 

[daisymtc]

are you with atx mobo or matx?

If you want it small, and use ATX mobo. Get Lain Li PC-A05FN/ PC-A05N

If u using micro-atx/ mini-itx, there would be a lot more choice for small case.

Never.......just repair as needed.

now im thinking about the Corsair 600T after seeing the video revies.
The only bad thing is that its gonna be heavy and also the size of it.
Or the
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer

The coolermaster 912 is an awesome case, I have it. It's got a dedicated spot for an SSD drive and tons of room for the longer video cards.

I am going to use the Corsair 600T on my next build. It is nice clean looking case which is builder friendly (keeping in mind that it is a mid tower. I am going to get the white edition though, while modifying the viewing window (too small and boring).

Question - Why are you choosing H61 motherboard?
I suggest go for cheap Z68

PSU - You won't need 750W with single 5850. And looking at your set-up, I don't expect you overclock you machine.

All these 3 case should be fine. It down to which outlook you like

 

[rustynail925]

why do you say that i wont overclock my machine?
maybe in the future i will overclock it

Because, In post #4 you made it sound like you were not going to overclock...

I took the corsair carbide 400R very nice case.

The manufacturer says its a mid tower, but if you look at the specs, its one of the biggest ones out there. You'd have no trouble moving around in it.

Nice choice.
