I want to build a new gaming rig. Initially I planned to reuse existing Ikonik EN case , however it cannot fit Gigabyte Geforce GTX 980 G1 (length about 300 mm).

Any value casing to be recommended? prefer don't exceed 80 sgd, and ATX format.

Thanks

Might as well ask for other stuffs. been a while since I follow PC trends. =:p

Current plan:
CPU: i5-6600K (planning for mild overclock , around 15% of base speed)

CPU Cooler: need help here.

MB: - MSI Z170A Gaming Pro or Asus Z170 - Pro Gaming
or
- MSI Z170A PC Mate or Asus Z170-K
not sure if the extra frills on higher end motherboard worth the extra money.

Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 (85 USD, Amazon)

Storage: reuse

Power Supply: need help here, prefer modular with at least 650w and bronze efficiency

GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 980 G1

Case: Don't need flashy type, ugly is fine as well.good airflow and good front panel(USB3.0 extension support) is preferred.

Armageddon T9X for 70+ at Lazada. I have one and the build quality is pretty good for the price.

Thanks all for recommendation.

Strongly consider following : Corsair 100r, Spec-01, Enermax Fulmo.q, CM N300 and N400, before finally decide to go with CM N300.

Final spec go with this:
  1. CPU: i7-6700k
  2. MB: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
  3. Mem: 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 C15 (waiting from Amazon)
  4. GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 980 G1
  5. Casing: CoolerMaster N300

Meanwhile, this is how my current pc looks like =:p :
