Help me choose a case

Go to solution Solved by Matom3,

Thanks for your quick response. I will research these options. Thank you for your opinion

Hi

I am doing a custom build and I cant choose a case that looks beast while being able to fit the requirements that I need.

I am looking for a Full tower case with a side panel window, a minimum of 3 external 5.25 inch drive and has a unique design. I will leave a build link bellow Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated about both the case and build.

 

I have already had a look at two different cases and I couldn't decide between them so I you think one of those would be better choice.

Sweet build but 1 thing, try to avoid a kingston SSD, go with Crucial or Samsung, this is because Kingston has a high fail rate when it comes to SSD's

The Pro is just the Luxe with a few less features. The money saved by going with it will allow you to get an R9 290 which is MUCH more powerful than a 960.

What do you mean by R9 290?

I changed the graphics card to the R9 920 from AMD. It won't be any more expensive than a 960 + Luxe (case) combo and the Pro is just as nice as the luxe. I have one :)
