Go to solution Solved by Archangel1994,

I want a new case. He hates the gamma. Kinda cheap looking and not great. 

If you have $100 for the case then the Enthoo pro or NZXT H440 are both good looking cases.

I am updating my grandfather computer. He is a show off kind of guy. So I was going to upgrade the case. He also does some gaming (yes I have a grandfather who games...on a PC!!!) so I was going to put an r9 280 in there (he is running 2x1080p). and add blues LED fans. What do you think for the upgrade? Any recommendations? BTW he plays stuff like GTA, Borderlands, and of course solitaire. 

 

 

Current Specs: 
i7 3770k

MSI G45 Gaming

Radeon 7750

8GB 1866 Memory

NZXT Gamma Case
