The SSD is significantly faster than the Samsung 840 in terms of read - write times due to the fact that it uses a custom controller rather than a rebranded one. The case has a much better build quality than the original. And lots of cable management features and native SSD support.

Thank You for the information. I kind of wish the case had a window though. I know my build internals are not going to be too impressive to look at but i like the window feature.

What kind of longevity would I see with this set-up, Will I be able to play games on high settings & will the build need constantly upgraded or can I expect a few years out of it.
