Solved Lets build a powerful gaming pc

[Maguscreed]

I agree with everything there man except one small problem.
The case, I hate it.
Newegg.com - NZXT Switch 810 - CA-SW810-B1 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0, SD card reader, 4x 140mm fans, 420mm radiator support, full coverage fan filters, I/O panel lighting, and hard drive hot swap

I know it's kind of ugly but check ALL of it's features before you write it off.
Here's a vid of linus giving it a unboxing review.

Newegg doesn't shipping in my area.

 

[Maguscreed]

Have you considered writing one of the two places you can use to see if they can get it for you?
I wouldn't think it a big deal. So far as I know nzxt sell worldwide.

The last addition and we are complete,we need the case to put all these hardware.

A list of full tower cases PC-CASES

 

[Maguscreed]

the silverstone SST-RV01B is actually a decent one. The price tag on it is a tad excessive though.

 

[Britton30]

My vote COOLERMASTER RC-942-KKN1 HAF X BLACK -
Lots of room and great wire mangement.

While I don't disagree it's a quality case, it just seems....
I don't know, ...like the obvious choice.



...does amazon by any chance ship to you, or even amazon uk maybe?
Because that would also open up a plethora of new options.

Amazon uk? No

Both are good cases. Well its truth i need a lot of room\space for all these,especially for the ASUS GPU.

Panais, I can only speak for the HAF X case, because I own one. As far as space for the GPU, they don't make a GPU that won't fit it. I have an 11+' GPU and still have 3" to spare. It is one of the cases where you won't have to ask, will it fit, whether you're talking about a GPU or a cooler. I also have a NH-D14 that fits with plenty of room.

NZXT seems to be on a roll with their cases.....but you have to get what you can get:huh: The Silverstone has a lot of complaints about breakage Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case The Coolermaster had a run where the motherboard backplate was not alined correctly with the pci slots Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1 Black Steel/ Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

But more often than not people were happy

For me as this is a premium build I would go with "the case" that will out last them all and go several mobo and cpu changes. Of course it's the 800D, go big or don't leave the porch as they say !

I will check this also.

 

[Maguscreed]

I have never held up the expectation that every single little thing is going to fall perfectly into place in the case.
Though I have been pleasantly surprised a few times, more often than not something has to be messed with.
Many people will give cases horrible reviews based on this alone, but given the near infinite number of hardware configurations going into them. It is near impossible for the manufacturer to predict everything.

...though with that 810 it really does seem like nzxt is making an honest attempt huh.

Unless you are like me and you hate ridiculously large cases. I like the styling of the 800D, but don't want or need a case that large.

And I always build a new computer and keep the older computer going and just upgrade something else in the house. So, I always go with a new case on a new build.

Very nice case...It will be almost a quarter of the budget....Not to pour cold water on the party, but how much over budget is this build?

A. low profile cpu cooler only some breakage Newegg.com - ENERMAX SPINEREX ECA5010M-B-B Black SECC 1.0mm ATX Full Tower Computer Case

B. covered

C. covered

D. We might have a winner Newegg.com - Corsair Obsidian Series 800D CC800DW Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case check out the pics and mostly positive feedback
Make sure no wires are near the fans:sarc:

 

[armyslowrdr]

The Chaser held my build with incredible ease. I will say the only negative might be that I don't know how well the optical drives are locked into position. Seems they come out of position easily while working inside the case. Maybe once te case is in position and panels on will be better.

Good luck with your new build !

 

[armyslowrdr]

Is the PSU you are looking at fully modular ? I was able to fit both cpu cables routing behind the board using an xfx platinum rated 1000 watt psu.

Newegg.com - Thermaltake Chaser MK-I (VN300M1W2N) Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Read the feedback on the case since it has bottom psu location your power supply cables might not be able to reach, if you use the routing holes:huh:

Newegg.com - CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply Read the one egg reviews: one complains that the cables can't reach the top drives:huh:

If you max out the ram you can use the extra as a ram drive RAMDisk - Software - Server Memory Products & Services - Dataram

Rest looks good

 

[panais]

Finish! Yeah!! We can play Tetris and Pacman now!!!
(I added stronger psu and 1333MHz memory ram)
