Why don't you just get an Enthoo Luxe or Pro? The Primo will look very empty without water cooling. Save some money and space by getting the Luxe/Pro.

Hi guys,

As the title suggests, I'm struggling to decide if the primo if overkill for an atx build with 1 GPU (280x toxic).

Is there actually a downside to having a full tower with a simple atx build?

Thanks in advance for opinions.

Downside is it'll look empty. Unless you're planning on making a big custom loop in the future.

Basically this, it wouldn't look nearly as emprty:

(sorry for the horrible pic couldn't find a build without watercooling.)

Good points made from all. I don't think I will look at custom loop. I think I might go the Luxe. Cheers for the opinions. :)

I don't think you can consider a case overkill. If you like the look of the case and can afford it, go for it
