So what case can I get that is good but cheap and fits this stuff?
It's not the case... It's the motherboard. You need a real motherboard

Uhhh someone tell me if I'm wrong here, but a micro ATX case will not fit a real graphics card. There isn't even a pci slot on it

You threw him and me off :)

But he's right, you do need a better motherboard

Can you suggest me one that is cheap and good?

Oops, did not mean to say case, meant to say mobo

are you stupid
there's plenty of pcie slots on the motherboard
the top slot is pcie 3.0 even

I said "correct me if I'm wrong" for a reason, I'm not explicitly knowledgeable about micro-ATX boards. I clicked on the part details and it mentioned nothing at all about pcie slots, so I assumed it wouldn't work

Ok so should I change the motherboard or not? And if I do what should I get?

Decent build. If you can go a little over i suggest a better power supply but this will work.
Thank you, I'll probably order these. I'll have to raise the limit for a better CPU and PSU, but it's worth it

Is that better then my current laptop?

Will an AMD Radeon 7750 be able to run shaders?

Probably. Any way http://pcpartpicker.com/p/q0ur

Does this all look good or should I choose something else? Also can I get any parts cheaper but still get decent performance?
