144Hz gaming computer. Will it fit in this case?

basschase · Nov 3, 2013

Hey guys, I've done a lot of research to come up with this gaming build. Will I be able to take full advantage of the 144hz refresh rate?
Will this fit in the case? I was originally thinking of getting a Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced ATX Full Tower Case, but vastly prefer a smaller and white case.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($139.99 @ Microcenter)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($63.75 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($98.99 @ Mac Mall)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card ($511.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Corsair 500R White ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($89.99 @ Microcenter)
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor ($266.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $1551.66

You can run that build in a 650 watt PSU, and if this PC is purely for gaming you don't need an SSD, it won't affect FPS at all and will only make boot up times faster. Also it may just be the fanboy within me, but I prefer corsair RAM and corsair PSU. I would go with this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z87pro motherboard as it has built in wifi. Oh and that GPU comes with 3 free games until the 26th, so jump on that soon. And yes you will get to take advantage of that sweet sweet 144 hz, that card is a beast.

Thank you so much for your input! I'll definitely go for a 650W power supply and will look into the Corsair stuff. Do you think this will fit in the case I selected?

Yes, the corsair 500r is a great case, and has quite a bit of headroom. I wish I could be there to see that beast power up

I honestly think it will fit in the case. If you want to be safe go for something like a Corsair 500R just like Computerchap said.

Thanks for all the great help. Do I need to get a fan for the case?

It comes with fans, but it never hurts to add more if it gives you peace of mind. It takes 120 mm and 140 mm fans I believe.
