Need some help :)

[Chucky-007]

Budget (including currency): 2000$ ish

Country: Sweden

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming

 

So I'm FINALLY going to build a new pc and I've got my parts ready. But I just got some questions. My CPU is a i7-10700k and i cant decide over getting an 240 or 360mm AIO for it and then what case would be good for which one I now end up buying. I dont wanna go with a super expensive case but maybe somewhere around 100-130$. Thanks

Recommending a case depends on what features it has to have for your use case, like number of drive bays, etc. As for cooling, 360 is better than 240 in terms of acoustics for the same amount of cooling. If you can't fit a 360, a 240 would still be enough but the larger radiator would give you headroom should you want to oc the cpu at some point. You may also consider a 280 radiator as a middle ground option if your case supports it.

Yeah but im thinking about the AIO orientation because it would be a bit hard to fit the down if i go for the 360mm. Do you think it matters that much?

A 240 rad should be plenty, however, a 360 will give headroom for overclocking if you plan for overclocking but may not be necessary. As@Applefreaksaid, 280mm will also be good if your case supports it.

To know which case to recommend, I would need to see the full specs of your PC. And it would also depend on whether you would prefer a Medium or smaller sized PC
