I'd recommend Fractal's Arc Midi R2 if you're looking for a case that has good air flow as well. The windowed side panel is large enough and it is tinted so not sure if you'd like that or not.

Now that's how to play the core count game lol.

@N3D9ed Yeah. I'm not looking for an ITX case. As I said in my op, I am looking for a HARD BRIEFCASE big enough to fit the 15 in monitor in the thinner half, and be able to fit the ups, pc, and keyboard in the larger half. I am willing to mod the balls out of it, obviously. I want it so I can but the BRIEFCASE on it's side bigger half down, un-latch it, and open it up to have the monitor in the top visible.

I don't quite understand your post. Ready to go when you open the briefcase?

Are you looking for ITX cases in general or there is something you need that must be in the cases?

The Fractal Design Node 304 is an excellent case from what I've gathered but it only lacks support for 240/280mm+ AIOs. If your friend really wants the 240mm support, then Bitfenix Prodigy would be the way to go as suggested by 007agentHP or the Corsair 250D which also supports a 240mm AIO but it seems the 5.25" drive bay will have to be left empty.

Ooh, the Classified one is smexy...

I would go with Zalman if you need the modularity (I, frankly, did not heard about Zalman's PSUs at all but since it is 80+ Gold, I don't think it's a bad PSU). But, if you don't want to take any risks with Zalman, go with the more trusted brand Antec.

Asus' Maximus VI Gene, Gigabyte's G1.Sniper M5, MSI's Z87M Gaming but since you prefer red, the first and third choice would be my recommendation to you.

Fractal Design's Arc Midi R2 is an excellent choice. Or if you like Corsair, their Air 540 is pretty much optimized for air cooling.

Can't find anything.....

Here's some suggestions that you can feel free to ignore:

1) Replace the Black with a Blue instead, saves you some monies since the Black is pretty redundant just for storage.

Hey! You're lucky , I just called him and asked him what games he plays, he said, he plays, ps2,d2,tf2,minecraft,mw2(most wanted 2),DayZ,Garry's Mod etc and he already owns an sapphire 6990. He said he doesn't need any high end card. He can even use the '90. He said, he wouldn't mind using an APU unless it gives him 40 and above FPS at full resolution

A windowed side panel would be nice, I've been pondering hard as to why isn't there a window in such a high-end chassis. Better water cooling support would also be viable since people would usually go custom water cooling when buying such a chassis.

Personally, I like 120mm AiOs because the weight of the radiator is on the side of the case instead of being supported by the motherboard so it is safer for transportation.

That's pretty understandable. Well, this would've to depend on the OP if he travels with the PC frequently.

Avoid 120mm AiOs if possible, they are not that good compared to high-end air coolers or even mid-end.

As for the chassis, go with whichever you prefer, unless there is something more important that $40 could do in your situation.

A10-7850K without a doubt as its cheaper and since you are using the PC as a project anyway.

I've seen about 2 fps better on benchmarks between the 2gbs but what about the 4gb of memory? I would of thought it would struggle to use it all on its bandwidth (i intend to go 1080p and mod skyrim)

Reset to the 270. The 270X is pretty much pointless unless the price difference there between the 270 and it's X variant is small (say £1-£10?). For 720p, the 280X isn't really worth it so the 270 is way better for the money at that resolution.

I would replace the MSI motherboard with the Asus Maximus VI Hero instead due to personal preferences and according to Newegg reviews, the MSI motherboard will ruin the red theme with its blue LED. Other then that, this is one solid build overall.

Wait for Maxwell if you can.

sp140 corsair

Why would anyone want to downgrade to HDMI 1080p@60hz or LCD from 2048x1536 @ 85hz CRT...

LCD screens have terrible blocky displays.

To get a higher resolution than my CRT I'd have to settle for a 60hz/fps maximum.

Native resolution? Lame

4K is ok for 2D work, otherwise 100% useless.

Seriously, you guys are clueless.

Maybe you had a 1024x768 60hz crt all those years ago and dont know any better... ignorance.

It's an excellent gaming build.

Here's a couple suggestions that you may feel free to ignore:

-Get the lower wattage variant,

---Saves you some monies.

-Get a high-end air cooler such as the NH-D14, Dark Rock Pro 2, PH-TC14PE etc.

---Saves you some monies, high-end air coolers tend to be superior to 120mm AiOs in almost every aspect (acoustics, performance etc.)

-Get a 1440p monitor such as the U2713HM or cheap Korean monitors such as the Yamakazi Catleap.

And one last thing, 8 RAM sticks on a Maximus VI Gene... Interesting...

Alright folks listen... I dont need a 1500w psu, Ive just thought that the nex 1500w would be a good goal because it already have individually sleeved cables which I wouldnt get as default with the ax 1200i. Another question is: Where could I find some individually sleeved cables kit for the ax 1200i without buying from the corsair site?

I think BitFenix has some.

As for the PSUs, I would go the AX1200i route simply because I don't really like EVGA's PSUs, but that's just me.

Successor to the 650 Ti, not predecessor, that would be the 550 Ti.
