Best Case for This Gaming Setup?

Well I may do a lot more other stuff in that computer...

 

Okay, whatever you need to tell yourself I guess. :P

 

I'm willing to humor you and give some good input. Here are my suggestions, you can do better with the part selection:

 

CPU: great! 

Motherboard: you don't have one..

CPU cooler: meh, Corsair AIO's suck. The Cooler Master Nepton 240M or Nepton 280L are better choices. They cut back on the gimmicks and put the money towards better build quality.

Thermal compound: most expensive doesn't mean the best. That $37 tube of thermal paste won't perform better than the much cheaper and better Arctic Cooling MX-4.

RAM: Great choice, however I'd get 32GB's 4x8. What's the point of filling up your RAM slots just for the sake of it? A hassle if you need more RAM down the road.

SSD: great!

HDD: HDD's are loud, the 7200RPM Black's definitely are. It isn't a big deal if your mass storage is slower. You can get some WD Green's, 5400 RPM = quieter, plus their cheaper so 6TB for the same price of 4TB Black's.

GPU: Do you really need Classified's? Are you water cooling them and overclocking them to the heaven's? If not, no you don't.

Case: 900D, meh.. I highly recommend the Enthoo Pro

PSU: EVGA is most likely cheaper and better.

OS: Great!

Monitors: Great!.. for gaming. For other stuff, content creation etc. you might want to look at IPS.

Sound card: waste of money, with the on-board solutions coming these days. If you want good quality get a good headphone with a DAC.

Fans: Corsair and Bitfenix, yuck.

Keyboard: why do you need two?

Mouse: your preference, although I highly recommend taking a look at the Zowie FK1 and Mionix 7000 series.

Speakers: N.A

Headphone: you can do better.

 

Put all this together in a PCpartpicker link for ya: ;)

so i am currently having trouble withe people suggesting to replace the blackhawk ultra with something else now i do not know what to replace i am going to be air cooling the pc and not liquid cooling (maybe i will) also a headphones suggestion would be great as i am having trouble finding one also i like one that is very good for gaming and music (surround sound etc)

 

if you want to change something about my rig you can tell me and that would be great and helpful.

There is a lot more wrong with this build than the case, if it's just for gaming...

Thermaltake Core X9

It's also stackable, and modular

Can hold up to three 480mm radiators, so even without water cooling it's gonna have plenty of airflow.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

well i do since its very hot where i live and i am not going to water cool my PC so yeah.

 

if u get all of thos fans its going to be really loud

 its all quiet editions

 

Well damn, what are you going to be doing with that 32GB of RAM? Make a RAMdisk or something? 

streaming and doing a lot more stuff like editing etc...

 

a 900D would be quite good for that

as far as i know Corsair Obsidian 900D's are for watercooling.

Please tell me this build is just a troll, please tell me this build is just a troll D:

 

BTW if you are somehow serious OP I'd go with either the 900 something from Corsair or my personal fav, the H440.

The Haf actually isn't a great case, go with the excellent(and ginormous) 900D or that sweet X9 which I think would be a tad small for your build :/

then i'll go back to the 900d i chose that but i thought the ultra would be better.
