Go to https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/ and play around with the 3.5/5.25 bay numbers and sort by price, some of those better known brands should be available locally.
Tried a ryzen 5 3600 build which comes to ~R8200 but that is minus a gpu. So you would be better off looking at bundle deals or full systems on carb.

Thanks for trying @ponder I'm also still willing to wait out a couple of months till bonus time haha so I can push the budget till about R12k. Will see how it pans out, did you try a build on wootware?
That would be a good idea if you can. You should be able to add avery decent gpu from carb with the extra cash.
Yes wootware,

Everything's pointing that direction now, insurance also taking their own sweet time to complete the payout. My broker is telling me I'd only see the money nearer to the end of November which works well into my plans. Thanks for sharing @ponder, once I have the money I'll be back with more questionsThat would be a good idea if you can.
Yes wootware,
Yeah come back when ready then we can fine tune things and do some price hunting.

Will do, thanks man
Another option is Amazon, but there will be delays wrt shipping should you need to return something.
Okay I’ll throw my question into the mix because it’s Monday I couldn’t be arsed.
Looking to go Ryzen 3600, 16GB DDR4-3200, Nvme (PCI-e 4x)and a mobo.
Undecided if I should go B450, X470 or X570.
I’ll OC for sure but on air so it won’t be anything major. I’ll only have the one nvme so I don’t necessarily need two M.2 slots, but it’s a future option I guess. I have a WiFi card so don’t need onboard WiFi, but then I also like the idea of getting something decent now for future upgrading or what have you.
Looked at the Tomahawk, Taichi and various others.
It’s a huge pool of options and I’ll admit to being unsure as to what I should go for. Let’s say R9k or thereabouts.

B450 Tomahawk will be fine, even the bazooka plus & mortar models are just fine. No real need to pay more for a mb.
The ryzen 3x00 chips are not great overclockers so don't expect more than a 100-200mhz at most, that will however result in more heat and power draw with no real noticeable performance increase. It's really not worth it.
Get some semi decent ram and play around with those clocks/timings.
For ssd look at Mushkin MKNSSDPE1TB-D8 Pilot-E 1TB

You said, "Let’s say R9k or thereabouts." and it's doable on that budget.
Another option is to look at amazon for an ssd
Yea you’re right, I guess I just don’t feel I need that much space on the NVME, for the premium.
How does amazon work with regards to returns and RMA? I assume you ship back to the states? I’d prefer to buy locally if that’s the case.
Not sure about costs but it will have to be shipped back to the us..

That's understandable, as it'll have to shipped stateside if something needs to be returned. And customs duties as well or am I wrong, to get the parts this side
Cool found a case thermaltake core w200
Lots of spaceYou got space for that behemoth?!
But yes, see what you mean
but only case local supplier can get. Or so they allege.- Status
