Hi, guys. I am moving soon and I need to move my PC into a smaller case. Due to the fact that we're selling some stuff in the process of moving, budget is flexible.
My current build is an i5-2500k (hyper 212), g1sniper.2, xfx 7970, 3tb hdd, corsair hx1050, in a 650D, which will be a PITA to sell (or even throw away -_-)
Anyway, here's what I've come up with. I'm selling my 7970 in favor of two 7950s and the only retained component will be the HDD and CPU. I chose the fractal case but I'm open to suggestions, unfortunately there is no windowed version of this case, if anyone can suggest a microatx case with room for 2 7950s, let me know. The reason I have gone with crappy Msi 7950s is because they have a black PCB and cost £30 less than the TwinFrozrs. I may even paint the shroud white if I have time.
Feedback please, thanks!
