Coolermaster's Silent Pro has received amazing ratings across the board, and this gives you plenty of wiggle room for upgrades. It's plenty under your budget too. Invest the money into a better graphics card if I were you.

See if you can find that ^ model on a Swedish site or in a store.

if you can use that site, links are there for reference/prices. I hear they have some of the best deals around (overseas).

Thankfully, I speak German fluently! ^_^ That made navigating that site far easier.

And here is a great option for a graphics card in that price range:

Find a ATi HD4890, you might be able to snag one on sale for that price. ^_^
