Hey, everyone! I'am going to choose between some cases but I don't no idea what will be good and cool. I got pretty much to choose about but not everything. So whats the best case and the coolest? Price doesnt matter. Please only choose between this cases. Think on most performance per dollar.

Cases:
Cooler Master CM Force 500 Midi Tower

Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Midi Tower

Cooler Master CM 690 II Basic Sort

Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced Sort

NZXT Phantom Special Edition
Sort/Orange

NZXT Phantom Big tower white

NZXT Phantom Big tower black

CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower (the white)

CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower (the red)

So which one will be best for my specs

Specs:
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 650W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670 Processor
MSI Z87-G43, Socket-1150
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB
Gainward GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
Samsung SSD 840 Series 250GB
WD Desktop Blue 1TB SATA
 
Well any of those cases will do.But if i was on a tight budget i would pick Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus. This case is an absolutely fantastic little case giving users an unmatched amount of airflow, cable management, and space in a pricepoint of so little.

So, what do you get Well, this is a High AirFlow case after all, so for starters you’re looking at 2x 120mm included fans to provide cooling for the entire setup, but that’s not all. No, the case itself has enough space for another 120mm fan up front, or the front fan may be re-purposed somewhere else and a large 200mm fan can take its place. Up top, you also get space for 2x 120mm fans or another 200mm fan which means this little $59 case can be outfitted with 2x 200mm fans! That’s more airflow than even some larger cases offer! In addition, a side 120mm or 140mm fan can be installed as well giving the graphics card area some breathing room if you decide that it’s necessary.

Additionally, you also get a whole lot of space and expandability in this case as it’s compatibility with all ATX motherboards and will be able to house larger graphics cards as well. All in all, this is an excellent case for those on a budget, and it definitely ranks as one of the best computer cases of all time. It’s not now big the case is, it’s what you do with the space that counts. If i was not on a tight budget Personally i would pick CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower (the white) it’s really hard to ignore what the CM Storm Stryker White Edition has to offer. After all, look at it! It’s absolutely drop dead gorgeous lol.

Wow, this really helps me! But I'am not going to install any more fans. So I think I will go for the CM storm Stryker because it looks so beautiful so I can brag to my friends ;). And btw, what do you think all this will cost?

But if I get that specs. Would it be best to get a 120hz monitor?
 
That's hard to say Everybody wants the best in current technology, but gaming is one area where having high-performance equipment matters. When the virtual bullets (or arrows, or psionic blasts) start flying, you need to be sure that you can see what you're doing and what's going on. When it comes to PC gaming, it may not be enough to buy the first generic monitor you find. You need a display that looks sharp, keeps you competitive, and has the features you need to make the most of your games.

How you define a good gaming monitor depends on who you ask. It also depends on the type of video game you play, and whether you are sensitive to imperfections. One person might scoff at even the possibility of ghosting, while another couldn't care less about an input lag of a few milliseconds. Thanks to the 3D revolution, there are 120 Hz monitors now in addition to the typical 60 Hz ones. Some gamers won't use anything else, while others are completely indifferent.

There is one requirement for gaming monitors everyone can agree on, and that's a fast response time so rapid movements don't cause ghosting. Response time is how long it takes for a monitor to change the colour of a pixel, and is indicated in milliseconds. You can measure this in a variety of ways.Manufacturers tend to use the method that gives the most favourable results, a reason why you only find 2 ms and 5 ms nowadays mostly. Perhaps go with a monitor that has a true 120Hz refresh rate. A 120Hz refresh rate draws the data twice as many times as a 60Hz and makes the in-game detail come slightly faster and appear smoother. Most 120Hz refresh rate monitors are 3D, if your into that.If you're looking for the best 3D monitor that will also play great in 2D, then you should choose between the BenQ XL2420T and the ASUS VG278H. Both incorporate nVidia's 3D Vision 2 with 3D LightBoost which greatly improves the overall 3D experience.

While the BenQ doesn't disappoint as far as specifications with a 2ms response time, 120Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and a great picture, The XL2420T comes with a lot of other features built-in to this monitor specifically for gamers including FPS Mode, RTS Mode, Intuitive OSD, S. Switch;Height Adjustment, and Game Mode Loader.

If you just want this monitor for the 2D technology, then you might want to consider its predecessor, XL2410T, which is significantly cheaper and has many of the same features as the XL2420T, but has nVidia 3D Vision rather than 3D Vision 2. for me once i went 120hz it was night and day i woud never ever use a 60hz monitor again :pt1cable: The 120hz monitor is silky smooth and when you click your mouse the action feels absolutly instant and there is no blurring or ghosting. I'd recommend just about any 120hz monitor for 2D or 3D FPS gaming. The ASUS 27", the new Samsung 27", and the Benq 24" all get top reviews.Honestly it's really something you will have to test and see which you prefer some do not like 120hz and prefer ips while others like glossy or matte screens it all depends on which you prefer.
