Phanteks have a number of ATX cases: Evolv, Enthoo Primo, Enthoo Luxe, and Enthoo Pro. Which case are you lusting after? And why?

Thanks! if you were me would you go to the atx route or mitx?

Mini itx in the corsair 380t is next for me. Everyone can build a powerful atx build, go mini itx and blow your buddies away

Depends on your preferences. A mini-ITX build is not as upgradeable as the motherboards only have room for a single gpu and two sticks of memory. But they are compact.

 

If you do go with mini-ITX, cut down the psu to something around 550W.
