Hi folks am going to upgrading my PC with an i5 3750K soon and need to upgrade the mobo as well....going to be running 16gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance, gonna be using my current wee HDD, and have a 240gb mushkin SSD. at the mo I have a Radeon HD 6850 GPU running at 850hz that I will also be keeping....
I am erring towards this mobo : http://www.aria.co.u...page=2&rqcType=

dont want to spend more than £100...are there any others i should look at or can I still get a decent mobo for less than 100? thoughts and recommendations please.

Will also be looking at a new case and want to spend no more than £50 for this, thinking of this:

or this:

Should I be looking at fans now? And also what cooling should I get that is cheap and effective for the CPU?

Cheers for your help folks..

Over and out...

The board is fine, and both those cases are ok i'd go with the corsair although for slightly more £15 ish depending where you look the 300R is available in that range.

As for cooling alot of people use this as a fairly cheap heatsink for overclocking

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
