New gaming/multitasking Pc

[Sgtmuffinbuns]

I've decided to upgrade from my laptop to a desktop, meant for multiple screens and high (as possible) graphics games. Budget is set at $1500 USD max but so far I have around $1300. Any changes I should make? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZBvJdC

Get RAM from a more reputable brand like HyperX or G-Skill.

Get an Enthoo Pro instead of that Azza Case.

Get a Western Digital drive instead of Seagate, they can be un-reliable sometimes.

Other than that it looks good.

I would get a Fury (no X)

ultimate porn watching machine

Get an Enthoo Pro instead of that Azza Case.

What is the big difference in the cases besides looks? From what i can tell they are all about the same, yet everyone prefers enthoo or fractal cases.

Fractal Design cases are my favorite. I have an Arc XL in my build, and i chose a Define R5 for my friend when I did his build. Great cases. As well as many other ones they have.

Fractal Design cases are my favorite.

 I get that people like the looks but do they provide any benefits? An example would be i like the bonus of having usb 3.0s on my front panel and such, do any of those cases change anything or is it just for aesthetic purposes?

Typically it's aesthetics, however I do find FD's build to have pretty high quality, it not just being flimsy metal or plastic, it being metal that has weight to it and feeling sturdy and solid and something I'd trust to house my components. Also for the most part I find FD's cases most compatible with things like water cooling or air coolers that are tall in length
