Okay, RAM and PSU is fine. I'd upgrade case but you don't have to.

Are you willing to upgrade case? Will you overclock? If you upgrade CPU, do you want to stay with the same socket and keep that motherboard or upgrade motherboard too?

Also, what size is your current HDD?

Sorry for the late reply,


I am more than willing to upgrade the case if it has more slots and makes it easier for future upgrades.

I probably wouldn't overclock, so people say it's good but i'd rather just leave things alone!

And If the motherboard needed to be changed for a better CPU then I would be willing to do so, obviously being that everything is still compatible.

PCPP sucks ass but in this case, it'll be easier for you to use. I'd recommend a case upgrade but it's going to be down to your personal preference in the end. S340, H440 and Define R5 would be my suggestions. R5 has space for larger rads but I don't think that rad space is an issue for you since I doubt you'll be doing a custom loop. All 3 of the cases I suggested have space for a 280mm rad anyway. S340 is the more budget option and is kind of a 'cut down' H440. Neither the S340 or H440 have any 5.25" bays, but they both have PSU shrouds which looks lovely for cable management, the R5 does not have a PSU shroud but doeshave 5.25" bays.

Also, pick up any HDD. You won;t see much difference between different brands and what not when it comes to HDDs. I don't know how much storage you require so never suggested one, but I'd probably get a 2TB HDD if that will be enough storage capacity for you.
