**Building a Gaming PC: A Review of the NR 400 and NR 600 Cases**
As we delve into the world of gaming PCs, one of the most crucial components is the case itself. In this review, we'll be focusing on two cases from the NR series, the NR 400 and NR 600. These ATX cases offer a great balance of quality, price, and features that make them perfect for building a gaming PC.
**Case Overview**
The NR 400 and NR 600 are both compact ATX cases that cater to gamers with modest budgets. The NR 400 stands out as a sweet spot in the market, offering excellent value for its price. With only a few options available in this price range, it's easy to see why the NR 400 is a top contender.
On the other hand, the NR 600 is an ATX case that faces more competition in the market. While it's still a great quality case, it's hard to stand out in a crowded field with so many options available. However, its compact size and decent features make it worth considering for those looking for a good value.
**Components Used**
To build this gaming PC, I used a combination of components that will provide excellent performance at an affordable price. The CPU is the AMD Rison 2600, which comes with a stock cooler. While this cooler is adequate for everyday use, if you're planning to overclock or push your system harder, I recommend investing in a third-party cooler.
The GPU is the MSI GTX 1660 Gaming X, which provides excellent performance at a budget-friendly price. If you have a bit more budget, consider upgrading to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 TI, but for now, this will provide great gaming performance on 1080p monitors.
For memory, I used a coarser LTX module with 16 gigabytes of RAM, which provides plenty of capacity for most users. If you need more, it's always easy to add more RAM later.
The power supply is the Cooler Master MWe 450, which offers 450 watts of power and decent efficiency. While this might seem like a bare minimum for a gaming PC, it should provide ample power for everyday use without breaking the bank.
For storage, I used a Samsung 860 Evo SSD, which provides fast read and write speeds for your operating system and programs. If you prefer a different storage solution, consider using a Crucial P1 or similar model.
**Testing the Case**
To test the NR 400 case, we measured its performance with our CPU running at 2600 MHz and GPU running at 66°C. We also tested its noise levels using Blender, and were pleasantly surprised to find that it produces only 36.7 decibels of sound at a distance of 50 centimeters.
The results are impressive, considering the NR 400's compact size and modest price tag. With this case, you can expect to get great performance and quiet operation without breaking the bank.
**Conclusion**
In conclusion, the NR 400 is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact gaming PC case that won't break the bank. Its value proposition is hard to beat, and its features make it perfect for everyday use. While the NR 600 faces more competition in the market, its quality and features are still worth considering.
**Recommendation**
If you're building a budget-friendly gaming PC, I highly recommend choosing the NR 400 case. With its compact size, decent performance, and quiet operation, it's hard to go wrong with this case. Don't forget to subscribe, like, and comment below on what you think about this review!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys not here from tech testers and today I'm going to talk about the brand new case from Kula master the NR 400 which we have right here so this is a micro ATX case that you can get for around 60 euros or US dollars and there's also an ATX version DNR 600 that you can get for around 70 euros or US dollars you can get a version like this that has an optical drive bay or you can get a version without the optical drive made that is gonna just have a very clean front panel instead of this cutout so this is a very cheap mid-range case but the question is is it good enough to compete with some of the popular more established cases in the same price range let's check it out this video is brought to you by the Auris 8027 QD gigabytes very first gaming monitor that earned my top recommendation if you're looking for a fast solid performing 27 inch quad HD monitor for gaming and creative tasks get yours using the link in the description below on the outside the new and our cases look pretty basic I think they have a bit of a traditional old-school Coolermaster feel to them with a MASH front that match does mean these cases are essentially wind tunnels so generally cooling should not be a problem also it means you can add LED fans to the front for some RGB effects the overall design isn't particularly inspired we've seen to have glass design a couple of times now but the finish is actually alright and I know that a lot of you will appreciate this simple design I do think that they should consider making a closed option as well as very few manufacturers still offer non windowed cases and I think it closed and r400 would suit office use very well both the NR 400 and the NR 600 can be purchased with or without the optical disc drive cut out our NR 400 that we use for most of this video has the optical disc drive option and the NR 600 does not but they are basically identical so most of this review you can apply to both space differences aside I personally don't really see the point in the old-school optical drives anymore even the USB optical drive I kept for emergencies hasn't been touched since I bought it I also think the non cut front is a lot prettier but I guess if you really want one you have the option the top has a magnetic dust filter which you can remove if you put a radiator in the top the bottom has a filter too but that filter is really basic and actually one of the few signs that this is a budget case a nice slide in or a magnetic filter would have been nicer overall outside bill quality is decent now don't expect miracles but considering the price it holds up well interior is kept clean with a PSU shroud which is pretty much standard these days that shroud also fits two SSDs we get some grommets on the side of the motherboard and you get two fans as well all good things considering it's a pretty cheap case now let's take a quick peek at the back of the case which is also pretty standard it doesn't have much in the way of special cable routing but there is plenty of space making cable management easy and typical gaming systems they will find another two SSDs sports plus a moveable HDD cage putting three 3.5 inch drives with a third being on top of it keep in mind that if you have the o DD version you can even hang a for 3.5 inch drive under the optical Bay so there is no lack of storage options overall there is plenty of space for any system you have in mind considering this is a small format case it can fit a CPU cooler up to 166 millimeters in height and a GPU up to 346 millimeters in length a bit less if you're gonna use an all-in-one mounted in the front when it comes to fan support it actually fits a lot of fans everywhere I'm not gonna go over all of them you can see them in the description below I'm gonna leave a little link but I do want to say that if you buy a case without the optical drive you're gonna have an option to fit a larger radiator on the top and you're going to be able to fit an extra 120 millimeter fan in the front so keep that in mind when you choose between the option with the optical drive bay one without it is obvious that a case like this is perfect for those budget gaming systems so actually build one of those right here it costs 800 euros or around $800 and it can run all the recent games on quite decent settings so let's go over what I've put in this system so for a CPU here I have the horizon 520 600 which is the most popular gaming CPU for a reason because you do get the best performance for the price you pay I put that CPU in the MSI be 450 and a motor our motherboard because it's cheap it looks great and has great DRM so there is some room for overclocking for the memory we have a coarser LTX module 16 gigabytes of it and for the GPU we have MSI GTX 1660 the gaming X if you have a bit more budget I would go for the t io signa 60 TI but if you don't this one is gonna be completely fine if you're gaming on a monitor that is 1080p for the CPU cooler I use the standard CPU cooler you get with the AMD Rison CPU now for the 2600 you actually get a CPU cooler without the LED circle but I couldn't find that one so yeah this is what I got now this cooler is quite ok even if you want to overclock a bit so you can overclock somewhere to 2600 X level but if you want to go over that I would suggest getting something with a bit more cooling power and replacing this stock cooler when it comes to the power supply I used a cooler master MWe 450 now 450 watts is going to be plenty even if your overclock because this whole system as it is now was pulling around 200 to 220 watts when it comes to the storage I would use something like a crucial and makes 500 or a samsung 860 Evo because they are cheap and fast and I know that you probably noticed that I have the samsung 960 evil here but that is only because all the software I use for testing is a and assesses they already said was just convenient so this is the system I would suggest for around eight hundred years that is gonna run you all the recent games on decent settings but let's test the case and see how it performs with this current system in it while gaming or GPU was running at sixty six Celsius our CPU was sitting around fifty seven Celsius and we measured 36.7 decibels at fifty centimeters distance those are very good temperatures at near silent operation of course we did pick some fairly quiet components but don't expect this design to dampen the sound much if you pick loud components in blender we measured 73 Celsius on the CPU 46 on the GPU this time at 37 point 1 decibels at 50 centimeters distance comfortable temperatures and very quiet keep in mind this is with the CPU found set to a quiet profile so you can save a few degrees if you increase the fan speed you could argue that the CPU is a bit warm but don't forget we're using a stock cooler here if you're serious about overclocking I would suggest adding a third party cooler something like a cooler master 212 Black Edition isn't expensive lets you push a risin 5 quite far and would match the aesthetic and the price range of the NR 400 either way however these are actually some great results and even if you try to squeeze in a 66 CTI or 2060 it really won't have any problems one thing I want to point out and my build right now is that even though the power supply is quite cheap and it's a very decent power supply for for that money I do have to say that personally I'm quite allergic to those mustard-colored cables so for for myself personally I would probably get either a bit more expensive power supply that has black cables or get some extensions just to cover that and make it look a bit nicer now overall the NR 400 and the NR 600 are not gonna make heads turn but they're quite decent they have a very clean look they're very easy to work with they can handle normal systems very easily and in silence and they are cheap and there is not much more you can ask from a case in this price range now I do think that the NR 600 is in a bit of a tougher position because it's an ATX case that costs around 70 euros which means it has a lot of competition you can get an n ZX th 500 for that money you can get the font XP 300 font XP 400 thumbtacks P 350 X you can get a char tg4 you can get a fractal Mastiff IC so there is so many cases to choose from and this is mind you a good quality case but just another one in a row but the NR 400 is in a much sweeter spot in my opinion it's a great case it's a cheap case and there is not that many em ATX case to choose from you can get for example d-h 400 from NZXT but that one is much more expensive so if you're looking for a good quality case that is affordable and compact for your budget gaming system then the NR 400 is just an easy recommendation now that's it for today thank you so much for watching let me know in the comments what do you think about this review and about this case don't forget to subscribe give me a thumbs up and see in the next one bye you\n"
