Hello community,

 

I am almost ready to build my first AMD based PC, and I'm leaning towards R6, but I would like to explore other options before setting on it, and instead of rummaging through the million cases in every online store, I thought asking you wonderful people for your suggestions. 

 

Here's what I'd like from the case:

 

- Similar aesthetic simplicity to Fractals R6/S2 (also with a similar window pane)

- Front mounted 3x fan 360 AIO CPU cooler

- Enough Airflow to keep my GPU and temps in my case in check (using somewhat heavy overclocks)

 

Any input is appreciated, 

Thanks in advance!

if you want to go smaller you could get a define C

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Sorry. I have actually, typical of me, already gone with the R6..

 

But to answer your question:

  • GPU: 1080Ti Strix (Have this one from before)
  • CPU: 2700x 
  • SSD: 970 1TB EVO (running a 12TB QNAP outside of this for mass storage)
  • RAM: 2X8GB c14 3200MHz Trident Z RBG mems
  • PSU: 750W Super Flower (haven't decided whether ill go with gold 2nd gen or plat first gen)
  • Mobo: Crosshair VII HERO

 

And as for cooling/mod parts:

  • Cablemods for CPU / GPU / 24Pin / CPU AIO cables (haven't decided colors yet)
  • 360 240/280mm AIO (don't know what brand yet) with Corsair's LL120/140 RGB's
