Finalising my Build.

[Minorika]

So these parts are set:

R5 1600x

Asus Prime X370 Pro

G. Skill Flare X once the price drops

 

I will transfer my PSU,HDD,SSD and GPU from my current system.

Rhombutech 500W (don,t worry it has good review on Amazon.at)

WD blue 3tb

Samsung 850 evo 256gb

MSI RX480 Gaming x 8gb

 

So with all of that my only concern is the case.

I,ve been thinking of getting one of the following:

Phantek enthoo pro

Cooler master mastercase maker 5

 

But since i have to wait for the beginning of may to get my next paycheck i wanted to know if there are better options for a mid tower case. I want the following:

A PWM fan controller like on the enthoo pro and the maker 5

Either some form of sound dampening or silent fans which shouldn,t cost to much per piece (10-15 euro,s max per fan)

A PSU basement

Good cable management

Maybe some form of modularity like the maker 5?

I don,t care about tempered glass at all but a side window panel would be nice but not a must.

Good airflow

Space for atleast 3 3,5 drives

4 usb ports

Front power and reset button

 

If there are some case which are set to release in a month or two with maybe the following features i would also consider those:
Usb 3.1 support

maybe one of those fancy side panel monitors

 

Front drive bays are not a must.

 

I am willing to spend up to 150-170 euros an a case.

 

thank you in advance.

NO. BAD.

Tier 3 or higher to minimize the risk of failure. If a power supply fails, it can take the whole computer with it.

does my motherboard have enough fan headers?

And about the enthoo: how much sound does it let out?

Just because it has good reviews on Amazon doesn't mean sh!t. EVGA 400 and 430 watt PSUs have good reviews on Amazon. Are they sh!t? Yeah.

 

People on Amazon don't know sh!t. Considering it doesn't even have a bronze rating I would get a new psu, probably an M12ii.

 

Enthoo pro is nice. If you want silent fans I'd suggest some silent wings 3s, if those are too expensive then try some Arctic F12s.

 

Also, consider getting a 1600 instead of a 1600x.

Well who knows. Maybe it won't serve you well for two.

You're correct about everything but this. Efficiency rating =/= quality.

for noise its pretty quiet.

 

Mobo has enough headers, otherwise get a splitter. You really don't need that many fans.

The Arctic F12s seem nice thanks ^^.

why a 1600 instead? The 1600X has a better clock speed.

Seasonic, for sure.

 

1600 *should* OC as well, if the 1700 was anything to go by, but amd sent 1600 review samples to literally no one, which is confusing me...

 

My guess is it'd be fine (it even comes with a stock cooler which is a nice bonus) though.

Isn,t there a version of the 1600x that comes with the wraith max?

I'd get 2 or 3. 1 back (out), 1 front (intake), one side or top (out)

Be-Quiet makes great PSU's (I also have an old 700 watt gold Ultra from Tiger Direct in another rig that has been used for gaming, an NwN server, then browsing and gaming, pretty much on 24/7 for 5 years and never had an issue. It does not even make the PSU list being a discontinued TigerDirect, so sometimes you get lucky with PSU's, regardless of brand)

Why 1600 instead of k? They both OC about the same on most motherboards. Asus is having an issue with their latest bios update where the core clock is adjusting ram speed down), though before Asus and Gigabyte seemed best for easy OC's. I prefer Gigabyte as their tools are just so simple to work with IMO.

Oh, cases. I love this case https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811352057

Plenty of room to work in, has everything you need, fits pretty much any decor. It's not as cool as custom built ones, but if you are going to pay, you may as well get your moneys worth.

 

These cases aren't truly custom, but are for sale and pretty unique. I like the wall mounted and desk one (Like Linus built in 4 of jis vids).

Again, they are all for sale. I think for the wall one you have to contact the builder for custom assembly though unless you have a friend/relative who is handy.
