Hey guys! Greetings from Poland! I'm about to buy myself a new PC because my old one does not giving me any chance to play newest games and I saved some money for that. (Athlon X2 250, GT 210 1GB and 1x2GB+1x4GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9, so yeah that's literally suck)

I've already chosen other components so here's the list:

CPU: Intel i7 6700K

CPU cooler: Be Quite! Dark Rock 3

MOBO: ASRock Z170 Extreme 4

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz CL14

GPU: EVGA GTX 980Ti SC+ ACX 2.0+ Backplate

SSD: Samsung EVO 850 250GB + EVO 850 500GB

HDD: Western Digital 500GB WD2003ABYX (I can add this one from my old PC)

And I have problems with choosing the best case and PSU for these componets. When I come to choosing a case I'm thinking about few: Phanteks Enthoo Pro, Phanteks Evolv ATX and NZXT H440. (H440 looks perfect for me but I heard that case have not good airflow at all and temperatures inside of the case are huge, lack of PWM hub and the window get's easily scratch) Can you guys give me the pros and cons of these cases? Which I should get? And backing to PSU: after a buying the new PC I'm thinking about to do some SLI with next GTX 980Ti in the near future and here's the next question: Corsair RM750i will be a good choice? It will have enough power for two overclocked GTX 980Ti in SLI and overclocked CPU?

I would appreciate any help.

PS. If I did some mistakes then I'm so sorry, I'm trying do my best with my English and it's not my native language :P

Get an EVGA 850 G2 for the PSU. Case is entirely up to you, but I'm personally as a big fan of Fractal Design's cases.

Corsairs PSUs are overpriced, Get a Seasonic, XFX or EVGA unit. EVGA.

 

I'd recomend a EVGA superNOVA G2 850

For the PSU 850W is a good amount. get something from the "in yellow" TLDR list in my sig.

 

For the case, perhaps a Define S?

Well, I've been thinking a lot of time about Fractal Design cases. They are great but I want to cover my PSU under this bracket which other cases like Phanteks or NZXT have. I also heard that there's a new edition of H440 (CA-H442W-M8) which have PWM hub (would love that a lot), it's bigger, have better airflow and I can install more discs on HDD trays. (two on one tray I think, not a real big deal for me) If you know other cases with the bracket for PSU I would like to check them out. Besides - EVGA superNova G2 seems to be a more expensive than Corsair RMi, at least it is in Poland. It has 10 years warrante but I've had to pay more.

Because it allows me to do better cable management and I want to make my components inside the case looks so neatly + I just don't want to see my PSU when it comes to having a case with window. (yeah I want case with window so badly, want to have a little peek any time I want on my componets :D )
