Intel Mid-Range Gaming Build: Case
While all of the components we are selecting here today are what we would go with, and priced from vendors we trust, it is always a good idea to shop around as deals on these, or other good options, pop up from other reliable vendors all the time. With that said, let’s dive right into the next order of business.

In our previous build guides, we have enjoyed the flame fest that has arisen from the choice of cases. So, today, we go back to the well one more time to see if we can build a consensus about a chassis. Remember, this is a more budget-oriented build so our case selection has to reflect that. Thus, we have gone with the SilverStone FARA R1.
The SilverStone FARA R1 is our choice today because it is reasonably flexible for its price point, has a good feature set, and it is not too bad to look at. One of the unique features of the case is the complete mesh front panel that should provide excellent cooling performance. This is one of those things that does actually help with the case functionality which is something often missing when a case costs so little. So, the FARA B1 is an easy pick for this guide, even if some of you will disagree with the looks and my sanity.
