Even if one could fit two rad in the case, the gpu length limit is 290 mm according to Corsair. I've seen where one can bump that to 300 mm by removing a plate. The Asus R9 295X2 is 308 mm long.

Do you think I should still go with the BitFenix Prodigy or should I get a bigger case? I didn't want to spend more than $100 on a case until I have the money to go all out with aluminum.

It gets pretty close to 700 Watts. I use 700~ to be safe. When I move to an aluminum case and a custom loop I hope to overclock everything.

 

So the plan is to move to a different case then add a custom loop?

Yes. I'm thinking in a year I will upgrade.

Thanks guys for all the feedback! This really helps! I'm loving the suggestions, too! I'll see what I can do within my budget. I'll still don't know whether I should stop the order for the BitFenix Prodigy and get the Corsair 250D. Or whether I should get a bigger case like the 350D. You all have made great points. I can't decide now.  :wacko:

 

EDIT: What's the best built case for under $100? And under $200? Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and ATX. Maybe I can paint the case?

Thank you! That is the friendliest welcome I have ever got online! I think we would make great friends. Haha.  :P

I'm a bit late to the party but speaking of pink, I changed the color of the Apple logo on the back of my MacBook to Pink a while back... A post-it note between the LCD diffuser and the case was all it took, and it still gets pretty bright.

That is awesome! If I hadn't had such a bad experience with my 2010 17" MacBook Pro maybe I would get a new one and have ColorWare paint it pink and black... http://www.colorware.com/

It always nice to find people with similar interests in my opinion. Melodic trance music.... anime... philosophy stuffz, stocks and economics.... 

 

Interest in learning how to speak Japanese and Mandarin is pretty cool too. I actually have a friend who's in Biomedical Engineering too. 

And yes I did indeed read your profile page~

Today, I am announcing the first update to the build! The build has changed! It is now a pink and white themed build, and I have decided to use and paint the arctic-white Corsair C70. Check out the main post, guys! Tell me what you think! Thanks!  ^_^

I'm liking what progress I'm seeing so far!  :wub:

yea now with that casing

 

you can easily fit your Corsair H100i and 295x2 easily

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I agree. I like how well built the C70 is. It fits my use case perfectly: College. I'm going to find out how to best paint all the black plastic parts to be pink. This build is going to be amazing. I'm so excited.  :D

An mITX motherboard is going to look lost in the C70. You might want to consider changing to a full size ATX motherboard.

You're both right. I was thinking about the ASUS Z97-WS for the double PCI Express 3.0 x16 and the overall superior build and component quality. And I kinda like ASUS's software, too.  ^_^

Asus Z97-WS reason for the 16x/16x PCI-E lanes is because of the PLX chip which expands the 16 lanes for the Z97 to become 32

 

it will actually induce latency which is pretty much worse than PCI-E 8x in normal Z97 boards

I am going to either purchase a cheap 4k monitor or a 34UM95. My roommate and I are buying a cheap 4k TV from China, though. And we intend to game on it and watch anime in 4k.

Oh god anime in 4k, where do you get the content from :o

one 1080P movie is like a few GB compressed

 

Blu-Ray can store like 25GB single sided

 

double up to 50GB

 

I tihnk it possible Blu-Ray can store 4K 

 

just the cost to encode into the disc may be high or possible???

Imagine how laggy it will be to stream 4k from crunchy roll. Lol.

What?.... 4k anime actually exists? The anime itself isn't even created at that high of a res. 

 

I remember hearing Kyoani just recently started doing their any at 900p or something.
