Hi

I am building a £3000+ build with:

I7 4770k

GTX 780 TI x3 (3-way sli)

16 GB 1600mhz

But I don't know what case to go for

I was going to go for a huge case like the corsair 900D

Or a AVP diablo full tower 2 in 1 case

Which one should I go for

900D (£270)

AVP diablo (£97.30)

Thanks for the replies but out of the

900D OR the AVP diablo

It's kinda depend on personal taste more than actual usability when it come to choosing case. I like 900D more than the AVP simply because the 900D is 1 solid chunk of metal compare to the removeable part of the AVP, though I do like the color scheme of AVP better.

Cosmos II, because its a Cosmos II and there is no better case.

 

900D out of those two, but the Comos II is better.  Lol

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

750D or H440 depending on how you would like your PC to look.

It feels as though no games ever leave the BETA stage anymore, until about 3 years after it officially releases. - Shd0w2 2014

Depends really what you want, if you want a case that screams hard core gamer  (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not)

 

Non 'gamer' case - 750D like everyone else said

 

'gamer' case - Cooler Master Storm Stryker 

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.
