I want a moderately powerful machine to suit my work needs and let me enjoy some games. Space is a big constrain and hence want small cabinet. I don't want to go absolute compact as i want to reuse my GFX card and PSU. Something like Coolermaster Elite 120/130.
Front USB 3 is a must. Smooth Photoshop for designing and Eclipse/VS for coding.
Please suggest. Want to purchase in a week.
