Get a new case?

Go to solution Solved by STRMfrmXMN,

I think the Cooler Master will be fine. It has a side panel window, decent airflow, a fair amount of room inside and a nice slightly understated look.

 

Only reason for an upgrade would be some extra quietness or a ton of airflow.

Hey Guys!

 

I currently have a Cooler Master N600 w/ Side Window. I'm building a killer gaming rig with an i7-4790k, a EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 SC, among other things. Should I stick with my case or opt for a better one?

 

For clarification, I have already bought the N600

Thats a fine case. Like @Toddwjp says better airflow, more space or quiteness are the only reasons to upgrade. I have had the 330R through 3 systems.

IMHO if you have it then you might aswell keep it as its a solid case from what I can tell.

You will be pretty much wasting money if you buy another and it wont really benefit you much in terms of fps and temps etc.

If you think you will need more space than the case you have now can give you, or want a different look from it, then go for a new case, otherwise stick with your current one.

I think I'm gonna get a brand new H440 in red, goes perfectly with by build and IMHO it is a lot sexier than the N600

If you want superb airflow and cable management, then get an Air 540.
