TimeMachine Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Hey OCC members. I am looking to build a APU rig for my Gf. Specs are attached http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CzRjqs Mostly for Microsoft office and movie (4k ready) when she decides the rig is too slow. I am reading a lot about the Micro atx and ATX not being to handle the coolermaster 212. So I guess I am asking you guys whats a good case (around $50) that easy to work with, reliable, and can fit the 212. Thank you!

potatochobit Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 an AMD A8 is on SALE RIGHT NOW at newegg for 64$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I LIED it is on sale at FRYS and you need the promo code 8764810 This CASE is 30$ RIGHT now after rebate this one is at newegg free shipping your cougar case is OK too micro ATX or not does not matter what matters is how close the memory is to the CPU and how tall the memory is you will have to specifically read the reviews on the motherboard you want but the 212 is a common sized, I wouldnt worry about it Edited October 31, 2014 by potatochobit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazerZ Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Might want to consider an i3 4130 paired with a cheap H81 motherboard. It should be be better for office productivity. Used anandtech's cpu bench to compare the two: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1270?vs=1192 Edited November 4, 2014 by RazerZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
