Hey guys I'm wondering if I should upgrade my case. I wasn't planning on it but since I am going all out on a new build pretty much I was wondering if I should upgrade. Here is a list of my future parts:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4690K

GPU: Titan X

Motherboard: MSI Z97-Gaming 7 LGA 1150

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M

PSU: EVGA 850 G2 850w 

Case: HAF 922

 

I was just wondering if I should consider upping case.

 

Thanks again for all the help!

Wait.. Why a titan x? And do you mean a i7-4790k not 4690k. Plus do you plan on 1440p of 4k gaming? Plus the Cooler Master Haf 922 should be fine.

Choolse whatever case you like, and if you don't like your current case, do a bit of modding (I changed my H-440 from blue to silver and now i love it)

ehh, I would get a different case. Fractal Design R5, Corsair Air 540, Corsair 450D are much better choices.

I don't think you need to change the case unless you want to change the outwardly aesthetics of your build.

Yes I did mean to say 4790k sorry about that. Yes I also plan on doing 1440p gaming when I get my parts and for the Titan x I am wanting an extremely good card that can run just about any game I want at Ultra and in 1440p
