What Case?

[ItsMinJunLol]

Hi, I was planning on building a caseless PC but I think I'll need a case for the sake of my motherboard radiators or shields or whatever they are. Help me pick a good-looking and cool case. The requirements are 280mm rad (Kraken x61) and 1 front panel fan, a side window, and idk, just cool looking. Thanks.

Forgot to mention but I don't really need many PCI-E slots or mem slots. I'm going to have 1 ssd, and 1 graphics card. Ask me for more info of the build.

What kind of look do you consider "good-looking" and "cool"? Can you give me an example of a case that you think is "good-looking" and "cool" so I know what kind of look to keep an eye out for?

We need to know your motherboard's form factor and your color preferences.

Take a look at this, it is a mid tower with a built in water cooling loop for your CPU

Yeah, the reservoir has a double helix in it. 

 

I prefer the black/green version, but that is your choice. 

 

Can I ask for he rest of your specs?

Why won't this thing show up in the PCPartPicker? I guess I'll have to guy it separate. Those 2 screenshots don't include the RM450 pwr supply and the hyperx fury changed to 4.

Ok, a couple things:

1. it doesnt show up in PCPP because it has a built in cooler

2. Dont buy that SSD, it is rediculously expensive, look into the Samsung M.2 950 instead

3. Don't buy a reference 970, look into the MSI one

4. You will need a bigger PSU than that

5. That is a pricey monitor

6. Those peripherals are quite expensive, the G502 RGB mouse costs that much. 

7. Total budget?

What monitor should I get? 1080P is enough but at least 24 in plz

Should I get the 650 watt ver of the rm series?

Total budget is 2200$ but I went over a 50$ but it's ok. 

I don't think I'll change the keyboard and mouse because I've used the mouse and it's pretty nice (too bad I dropped it in water) and the keyboard, I don't like mechanical and it's RGB. I'll stick to those.

I only got the processor and motherboard (thermal paste too) because I really want to perfect others and I know $h!t about good cases and whatnot.

Ignore the incompatibility warning, it doesn't know the Genome has a cooler built in.

 

I should mention that waiting for the new GPUs is probably beneficial. 

 

EDIT: that RAM has red LEDs on it.
