Ok so i was planning to build in the corsair 380t but that didnt work out cuz id need a part from the us and they want a stupid amount for shipping so im in need of another case. I was thinking either the Fractal Design Node 304, Silverstone SG10 or waiting for the Ncase M1 and was wondering what people thought of those 3. I dont have any parts as of yet cuz i was going to wait till i had a case to put them in.

304 is probably the most practical, N case is the smallest.

Elite 130s are also a great choice. 120mm rad support, 1 foot GPU clearance, and much less expensive at 50 bucks

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

hmm now i got evan more to think about lol i like all these cases choosing one sucks

well what do you need, ie, how many hard drives/SSDs, which PSU (actually kinda key in the 304 due to the unusual position). how long a graphics card etc.

yes iv seen the core i like it but the 304 just seemed better and the sg was just an idea for upgradability

The 304 is better looking, but the Core has better cooling. Dual 140mm fans on the top that can be intake vs 2x92mm on the Node.
