Grabow

This is my first build in like 5 years and wanted to do something different from what I normally do. I wanted to do a SFF build 10L or smaller but just couldn't decide on a case or justify spending $200+ on some of the better cases.
I chose parts that would give me a great 1080p experince now and have the ability to upgrade the CPU and/or GPU in the future if games demanded it or if I wanted to upgrade to a 1440p or 4K monitor.
Probably spent more than I should have on the motherboard for this level of build, but it had all the ports and features I was looking for and provides great upgrade options if I need/choose to do so.
 
The Silverstone PS15 might be one of the smallest microatx cases out there and things are tight in this case. I have a few complaints like the pcie mounting bracket is just a pain in the ass and the holes arent lined up 100% so it makes it difficult to screw down. The front panel I/O cables seem to be of lesser quality and fragile so I had to take care handling them. The bottom of the front panel has a silverstone logo that has a blue led and has a molex connector for it. Didn't want to run a molex cable just for that so I decided to tape it down against the bottom of the front panel. Overall though for size and price, this is a pretty decent case that I would recommend.

@VeganJoy Just played BFV for about an hour and a half at 1080p ultra settings and logged the cpu temp and clocks as well as the gpu temp and clocks. No throttling was logged on either.

@Jason 57 I really like this case for the size and price. Has some short comings but I think if you realize that going into it then its not that bad.

@VeganJoy I wanted to get coolers and fans when I bought everything but that would have added $75-$125 depending on cooler and fans and I really wanted to spend everything on components.

@lewdicrous No worries. I was honestly confused from what you were saying and just wanted to make sure I understood you.

@TVwazhere So I am currently fooling with fan layout.
 
Already switched the top fans to the front and moved the front fan to the radiator for a push/pull.
 
Liking this setup right now. Don't think I will need any top fans for exhaust yet.
 
Gonna monitor temps during my "stress tests" and see if that plays a factor.
 
And yes, this case basically did all the work for me and looks pretty damn good.

So I went with the Phanteks P400 TG.
 
This thing was a dream to build in and swapped my pc components over so easily.
 
Glad I with with this one instead of the other options.
 
The built in rgb strip is a pretty awesome bonus.
 
Plus I got this on discount, WIN WIN.

I will probably upgrade my GPU before I do a full system upgrade. 4790k is still crushing it for what I need.
