Change the case... you'll regret it if you don't.

Agreed.

I never read your initial post but to cover the cost of the Case do you really need the 16GB of RAM, drop it to 8 if you don't .

 

[duvetdave]

Why do you not like the case and which one would be better, and for what reasons?

 

[MrShteeeve]

Doesn't have much in the way of cooling side vents etc, For an extra tenner the CM690 MKII Advanced Case has 2 Side fan sections the rear as standard, and the top mounted fan as well . much better cooling for the price paid tbh

Thanks for that info I will try to change the order as I also like the top port for direct sata drive connection.

No problem at all, you just get more for your money with the CM690, and more options. PCS shouldnt have a problem changing it don't worry .
