Need A Case And CPU Cooler Reccomendation

Greetings Geeks.

It seems I need to invest in a new case. The one I have is about 15 years old, it is huge, bulky and awkward, it is an indescribable beige color, and it weighs as much as a silver back male guerrilla.

Things are running hot with my fairly new Phenom II x4. I suspect it is a poor application of paste with the assembly and pretest from the vendor, but my crappy case and claptrap airflow setup is also to blame . So, instead of just pulling the cooling setup and checking the paste, I am going all the way. Hence, I inquire . . .

I think I want a mid-tower. I want to spend around $50, but I will go a little above $100. I don't need lights and clear panels, just a sound case with good airflow potential. I don't need an PSU, mine is fine (however I understand that some come pre-installed, okay if I don't have an option).

In addition, I think I want to upgrade my CPU cooler. I might do some minor overclocking, but nothing hardcore. My current setup is an ASRock M3A770DE board, AMD Phenom II X4 955, EVGA GTX 460 OC, 4 gigs o' ram, and an SB Audigy.

One caveat, I need to use Amazon as I have store credit.

Thanks for any help.

 

For a case. Might I recommend the Antec 300.

For a CPU cooler, might I recommend this:

Thanks for the tip. I ordered both. I was actually eying that same CPU cooler a few hours ago. I also ordered some arctic silver paste. To top things off, just before I sat down to order I broke my DVD drive. The tray was out and I was navigating around my daughter - crack! Broken. So I just ordered one of those too.

I just don't look forward to pulling it all out, putting it back in, and rewiring my mass of cables of , connecters, modems, printers, etc.

Thanks again!
