Hi guys,

I'm kinda new to the whole building your own pc thing but for the longest I've been interested in building and I've slowly been working on it. My initial PC was created by IBuyPower and I've been using that PC to upgrade slowly. Anyways that is just some background.

I'm looking to upgrade my Ibuypower case which is a Raidmax Corba with one that has better airflow along with room for future expansions. My current case will not allow me to add more components or even a bigger graphics card. Please let me know your suggestions and keep in mind I'm planing to keep my old components as of now so I'll list em out below.

Current specs:

Case: Raidmax Cobra

Motherboard: gigabyte 970a-ds3p

Processor: AMD FX 8350

Cooling: Some random generic cooler that IBuyPower included (will be replaced with Corsair H100i)

GPU: GTX 660 (any thoughts on replacement)

PSU: Corsair 1000W

Storage: Two SSD's and one WD 1tb HD

Memory: 16 GB Ram

Optical: BR/DVDRW drive

Thank you!

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Enthoo Luxe are pretty big cases and they both gives you a good amount of airflow and a ton of room for expansion 

Christian and Proud of it

i was going to make the same thread but for intel i5 and gtx 970

Slient Case (With not the best but not bad airflow = Define r5 & NZXT H440

Awesome Airflow (But not really that slient) = Corsair 900D and Corsair 750D

 

This 4 casing was what I was looking at before I started my build. Was leaning more towards Corsair 750D (budget as well as not that huge case) until NZXT H440 came out with the Razer edition (Razer fanboy here).

R4/5, h440, 750d, enthoo pro. All top cases, they are great cases pick the one you like the looks of best or do you value silence, airflow, or extras you get with the case? All are good picks.

Air 540, or Thermaltake core X9 are pretty much the best for their prices when it comes to size, cable management, and airflow

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs
