This case is fine for this beast right?

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666mhz 2x4GB

Hydro h60 Water cooler

CORSAIR CARBIDE 200R 5 years old

The case works fine and has so many fan spots but some people say that I should get a new one that the air flow is bad and so on. I don't think that is a issue? How can it be bad? One watercooler in the rear, 2x 140mm intakes on the roof and a outtake 140mm on the bottom, 2x 120mm outtakes on the side door and 2 front intakes 120mm. I really don't know why it would be bad? I also have dust filters for every intake.

Is this case fine to go with? I really don't wanna spend money on a case because then I will have to lower the price of another part. What's wrong with the case? It is a great case? Please serious opinions.

Greatful, thanks.

While it's not a bad case, it would be a shame to put such a nice pc in a case where you can't show off the goods. If you really don't have to budget for a new case just reuse your 200R.

I don't give a plopp about how it looks :D as long as it performs good, I prefer one that looks like absolute shit but is extremely good.

Same for me with OS, I XP still had full on support etc. That's 1 reason why I still use W7

I think it's fine! I understand what you mean. I have an Antec 900 series case I still use.

That sentence made sense, I'll try to rephrase that 

Same for me with OS, If XP still had full support etc. I would be using that. That's 1 reason why I still use W7 instead of W10

Hope that made sense lol

Yeah exactly, I mean I don't care what it looks like. If I ever go to lan It would be awesome to have everyone believing that my pc is crap based on how it looks but then they can't keep up with my avg fps :D

If you're buying new, I would consider something with more airflow like Fractal Design Focus G.

Thought this was an empty post because night theme... WHY?

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

If I could make some recommendations: 270R is brand new and holds 3x fans up front. Fantastic airflow and neat side panel. There's also the 400C / 600C and 460X / 570X. If you want more flashy, definitely go with the "Crystal Series" and throw in some RGB fans.


Also, buy some more RAM! Browsers plus games take up huge amounts of ram for faster performance, don't settle for anything less than 16GB with such a beast system. :)

 

Enjoy the build!
