Personally I hate pc cases that are big, fancy, but have small amount of 3.5 drives bays (this one allow you to put only 2 HDD, which is good for some micro build, but not for full ATX). Your pc case should have space for at least 4 HDD (and separate places for SSD) in case you want to expand your storage in the future.

Now, yes. But it's not laptop that can handle 2 drives max. It's desktop that allows you to expand more. And what - after 2 years when you add new HDD, you'll change case? Functionality above appearance. You asked, I answered. IMO BeQuiet Pure Base 600 is great (still only 3 places for 3.5 HDD, but separate 2 places for 2.5 SSD).

common in two years ill need an extra hdd? LMAO! think more like 5. Anyway If need be I can always have an external hdd or ssd.

 

When I bought this case I was considering what are my weaknesses when it comes to builds. Which is i am horrible with cable management.This case is far from fancy, it has great airflow and great cable management, it looks nice while not being too fancy. Not only does the glass side come off but the right side of the case also comes off so you can do your cable managing over there. Not to mention the front panel comes off so you can clean it an there is a tray underneath the case that slides out where you can clean that too. The airflow on the case is really great so i do not have to worry about any over heating. Overall it is a great case and I recommend you look into it a bit more like i did. The case really has great reviews and at the time it was on sale so i bought and have it sitting next to my current PC. FYI this case is actually smaller than my current cooler master case which looks like a tank. Which is another reason i bought it.

 

No not everything with glass on the side is considered fancy. i'd consider this to be middle of the ground compared to other cases.

the Define C/Meshify C is really freaking compact, its really not a big and fancy case, its pretty much the oposite tbh. its dull and compact and there really isnt room for any more storage in it.

it is a really nice case, i have gotten very intimate with my Define C and stuffed it with watercooling, its a really good and compact frame and one of my favorites i have worked with. if you care, you can check out Northern Bee in my signature

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

SSD Plus is a pretty meh SSD, I would choose a BX500 instead. Also you could do better PSU wise for that price. 550w is enough but if you want more for whatever reason a 750w Focus+ or 650w RMx are both essentially the same price and better.

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

That mobo is fine, no need to go any higher in price with a 2600x, even a 2700x would be fine with that one, and yea, it should run them fine at 1080p medium to high settings

I mean it'll be fine, but it's not a great SSD. It might be slower moving files around and for some reason I always had small hiccups here and there when using mine as the boot drive.

 

BX500 is a better SSD and a little bit cheaper

Maybe you were looking at the MX500?
