Help me pick a case!

[no_clntrol]

I need help picking a case for my PC build. Standard ATX board, GTX970 (blower cooler). I would also like some help deciding what fan setup I should run, as I am very new to this. Currently I am looking at a Fractal Design S or Corsair Carbide 200R, and a couple of 120mm fans (really good price over here). But as I said, I am really new to this and have literally no clue when it comes to cases and cooling. Note: Design S comes with 1 140mm fan in the back and one in the front.

all are good cases with great air and water cooling options

Damn I had missed that one, thanks for the tip. Any ideas about cooling for that one?

That one is more expensive than I'd like to spend on a case, tbh..

The NZXT or Fractal Design S it is, but I have literally no clue when it comes to cooling, negative/positive air pressure and stuff

cooling should be pretty much fine, case has good air flow and comes with fans so you shouldnt really need to fiddle around with it unless youre going for water cooling or anything

Nope, going all air. You sure the stock ones are enough? 2x120mm would be like 10$, which is barely anything at all.

I run my system on the stock fans the case came with and ive had absolutely no problems even under load they stay at a reasonable temp so it should be fine but if you want to buy the extra fans then go for it, it can only improve the air flow

What are your system specs and temps?

And it depends what you put in there really. For all air cooling the stock fans are more than good enough to create a positive pressure and keep good temps.

If you are OC'ing then invest into the air cooler such as the cheaper Hyper 212 EVO or the more expensive (AND ALOT MORE FIDDLY) dark rock 3.

 

What are you gonna be running?

ASUS GTX970 Turbo, i5 4690k, suppose that's all the relevant stuff when it comes to cooling. Yeah I've heard a lot of good stuff about that one!
