Pc case size

Go to solution Solved by EnergyEclipse,

Cooler Master are making quite a good appearance into the Micro ATX area right now, and the market has recently leant towards the Micro ATX form factor for the budget market. If you don't plan to upgrade anything for awhile or put your system on liquid I would go Micro ATX, or just whatever case you like the most.

 

Always remember though the check the dimensions of things like your graphics card and the height of your CPU cooler to make sure everything fits into the case correctly.

If you don't need the extra space I would go with a mid tower. They work just as well and won't take up as much space in the room. I have the NZXT S340 and it is great, you could get something like that

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

If you need more PCI slots then get an ATX board. Otherwise get an mATX board that has the features you want. Keep in mind that, if you want to OC on Ryzen, pretty much all of the current mATX boards have no better than a 4+2 power delivery design so you won't be heavily OCing anything beyond the hexa cores. Most of the mATX boards don't even have that or, like the Asus B350M board, have no heatsinks on the VRMs.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
