Hi all, already got the parts to my first build except my micro-ATX case. Will also like some advice on what could have be done better.

CPU+MB: intel i5-6500 + msi B150M Mortar DDR4 ($392.7)
GPU: Zotac GTX 960 2GB ($255)
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB ($122)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB ($75)
PSU: EVGA 600W B1 80+ Bronze ($60)
RAM: Crucial (8GB x 2) 16GB DDR4 ($112.50)
CASE: Sharkoon MA-A1000/ Cooler Master n200/ Cooler Master Silencio 352
Display: Samsung LA22A450C1 Series 4 (Old monitor that I'm reusing)

OS: Windows 10 Home 64bit (Did not buy yet)
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Ultimate Stealth 2016 ($125.90)
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Standard ($58.30)
Wifi: EDUP 802.11AC 1200M Dual Band USB 3.0 ($21)

For the casing I like Sharkoon's front panel's USB 3.0 (2x) slots and USB 2.0 (2.0) slots. Seems very practical and only about $59. But I heard cable management is a nightmare.

CM Silencio 352's matt finish looks a lot better to me but it's at $79. While CM n200 has plenty of good reviews.

Thanks for reading!

I just got the CM N200 for my new PC and it was pretty decent for cable management and space for HDD and SSD. Fits my Nitro R9 390 too (quite a long card). Not the best looking but has plenty of great features for an MATX case.

Thanks for the lobang share! Doesn't seem to have many value for money cases in Lazada though. A lot of mark ups.

CM N200 Advanced offers 2x USB 3.0 and 1x USB 2.0

Can't find it online. I'll try offline at SLS. Any opinions about it vs the Sharkoon MA-A1000?

Hows the noise, temperature & cleaning?

Thanks for sharing. Yeah a lot of good practical reviews for it. How much did you buy it? The silencio series looks great though :D
