Hey guys, looking for a chassis with a nice windowed side panel and AIO cooler to go with my build. These are the parts i have so far.

 

-Intel i7 4770k

-Asus Maximus VI formula 

-Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB

-Gigbyte GTX 770 Winforce 3x

-OCZ Vertex 60GB

-Kinston HyperX 3K 240GB

-Corsair AX860

 

​So does anyone have any recommendations?

There's a few parts i would change if I where you:

1. Don't get dominator platinum's they're overkill I have them I would know

2. Don't get a 770, wait for 9xxx @CoolBeans

3. Why 2 SSD's?

4. Unless you plan on SLI CF 860 watts is overkill

 

To answer your question get a H100i and a Corsair C70.

personally I love the look of the nzxt switch 810 but cases are personal preference just get whatever looks best to you, also what is this build for because if its for gaming the i7 is overkill and you could save money on the motherboard and ram just get the cheapest cl9 1600mhz 8gb ram and with the money you save you could even get a 780 or wait for 9000 series which would be a better choice, for an aio you could get a x60

Fractal Design Define R4 and a H100 or H220 if you're not in the US. Also wait for 9000 series, it should be here around September - October time.

He's going to have issues with the formula and the H220 or even the H100i in the R4.

1. I like the look of the Dominator lol

2. Upgrading from a 550ti so yeah it is worth it :P

3. One for Windows and one for games

4. yes i do plan on SLI =)

 

Also doesn't the H100i have alot of pump problems? Also i don't like the looks of the C70. Thanks you for replying fast.

The formula? The H220 fits in the R4.

Would the NZXT kraken x60 fit in the Corsair 650D?

Do you like the look of the Phantom series from NZXT then? If you must get the Dominator Platinum's then i guess i cant stop you. You really really should wait for 9xxx announcements are only a month away. Just get 1 nice SSD like a 480Gb 840 Evo. And in that case PSU is fine. H100i has some issues but Corsair has a great service on them because they are well aware of the issue.

-Intel i7 4770k

-Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB

-OCZ Vertex 60GB

-Kinston HyperX 3K 240GB

-Corsair AX860

 

​So does anyone have any recommendations? 

 

Get a 4670k

Get a cheaper mobo, really no difference with 1150

Get decent RAM.

Don't buy an OCZ SSD they are horrible, especially 60gb are never a good solution.

 

Now take all the money you saved:

Get a 780 or even better wait for the 9000 series that will be out soon.

Get a nice MSI / Gigabyte mobo at a reasonable price

Get some normal RAM, really no point in the dominators besides being overpriced.

 

GJ, now you have a good PC =P

OCZ SSD's are not terrible D: they where bad at the start but that was a long time ago. They are just as good as Samsung's now (quality wise).

Thanks for the input. What AIO and windowed chassis would you recommend?

Too many of OCZ dirves died on my brother for me to be even remotely able to recommend them.

Well that really sucks. I've been running my Vertex 4's non stop raid 0 since the day I got them.

AIO probably a H100i, my H100 ran fine so I guess this one will do ^^

Chassis is really up to your taste.

I personally like the look of the FD R4, but it comes down to what you like ^^

My Vertex 2 is sitting in my Linuxbox and is doing fine, yet considering my brother had so many dead OCZ Drives I feel I've been lucky, rather than my brother being unlucky ^^'

If you plan on using it for gaming, downgrade to a 4670k and get a 780 instead or wait for the 9xxx series  @CoolBeans

 

3. One for Windows and one for games

 

 

You can get one big ssd and install windows AND keep your games on it? Seems like a much smarter choice.

Cpu: Intel core i5 4570 gpu: gtx 770 case: cm storm enforcer psu: xfx pro 550w motherboard: asus b85m-g ssd: samsung 120gb hdd: wd caviar blue 1tb ram: kingston hyperx blu 8gb 1600mhz mouse: razer deathadder monitor: some decent samsung 19" keyboard: CM Storm TK Blue

Hard to tell, you'd have to make sure the case will fit a 280mm rad in the top.

The Corsair 900D and the Xigmatek Elysium will surely fit it, yet they are both gigantual cases ^^'

Just find a few cases you like, and check if they can fit it [should be mentioned on the manufacturers HP]
