First time build - teaming with my 15-yr-old son. He thinks the CM Storm Enforcer is a kick-butt looking case. Reviews make it sound like it might be tight/tricky for a first-time build (esp. with the Gigabyte GTX 760 we have planned). Corsair Carbide 500R sounds like a roomy, easy-to-build case (but it ain't good looking - grin).

Am I worrying over nothing? Will we be fine assembling in the CM Storm Enforcer?
