Hi guys,

 

I'm building my first PC and I need some assistance choosing the right parts.

Here's the completed PCCaseGear build I have so far.

If you could provide feedback on what to change or swap that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi guys, <CHOPPED MATE>

No case?

Whoops forgot to add to cart.

It's this one:

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33819/corsair-carbide-88r-micro-atx-mid-tower-case

Also, this case is micro ATX, would that be too small?

 

Yes, that case is too small. Get one that supports an ATX motherboard or get a M-ATX motherboard.

Ok, I've found a few that seem nice.

Any in particular you think I should get?

I like the 100R from Corsair the most personally.

Thanks,

There's also this one:

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/29395/deepcool-tesseract-sw-mid-tower-chassis-white

I just like it for the white, and I'm thinking of getting blue lighting so I think that would go well with it, only downside to me is the small-ish window

It's up to you, cases are personal preference. I have a Corsair 750D because it fits what I need and looks clean. What ever your aesthetic taste is, is what you should get, obviously as long as it fits the hardware you want too.

Upgrade the it to a BlueRay drive and a better wi-fi card.

Are you sure I should go blu-ray, I'm probably only going to use the drive for the occasional game and boot disk because I'll use my PS3 for movies.

Also, what in particular should I improve about the wireless card?

 

Thanks

In that case, stick with the DVD drive. But here is the wireless card I have in mind
