Hello, i thinking of build my own pc, and chossing the case. First of all i am gonna use Intel i5-4690K or 4690, my GPU wil be GTX 960 MSI or GYGABITE. Since i dont have much space under the desk i chosen mid tower, kinda cheap case:

1. http://www.zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=940

2. http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=836

 

Which one is better in your opinion?

And my GPU will fit?

Is there a reason you didnt consider something like the NZXT S340? It's a very good option and is very well built and quite small - or the Define S, Noctis N450 or H440 which are all similarly sized.

 

But out of those two, I'd pick the first one (R1). But tbh I don't trust Zalman.

Hi CoolBlueKidd, i check your recommended cases, and found out that cases is not avalable in my country (what a sock). By the way, i need cheap one.

Can I just make a personal request for you to NOT get a 960? They aren't that good. I would swap out your CPU for something worse, like a 4460 or 4590. Then get a better GPU like a 290, 290X or 970, I don't know about where you are but the Gigabyte 290X is $400 AUD right now! Very good deal. But, the MSI TWIN FROZR 290 is $370.

 

But, if you have to get a budget GPU get a 280X instead.
