Hi guys, I have a BIG problem! I am stuck for choice for the motherboard, and case. I have listed the parameters, but all other suggestions is greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
So to start: the motherboard!
I am in the UK and three motherboards have caught my eye at a reasonable price point (around £100): ASUS Z87-PLUS, GIGABYTE G1-SNIPER Z87, and MSI Z87-G45 GAMING.
I would like the ability to overclock at some point in time (mild to moderate overclocking), I would like the ability to have a 2-way SLI configuration (GTX 760/ 770, or greater) and wireless is a must have so a wireless NIC will be needed.
what one of these is the best (I heard MSI is bad build quality) for me; and if a better choice is available please state it!
Also the case...
I understand that this is down to personal choice, but I am stuck between: HAF XB, CM 690 iii, Corsair vengeance c70, and Cooler Master Scout 2 advanced (all around £80-£100, £80 is more preferable).
The case needs to have sufficient cooling ability, fans can be added but I would like to stay away from water cooling (I don't trust it, maybe later in life, but not now, space for it would be good though), if you suggest adding fans, what fan is best. The case wont be moved about too much, just so it can be cleaned and possibly upgraded (example: more RAM). It will stay under my desk, it has sufficient space around it. I want the case to be future proof, so it has to be upgradable. and I want a durable case, no flimsiness allowed! lol.
If you must, please suggest another case.
NOTE* If possible could you please rank all of the suggestions from best to worst (with reasons).
Many thanks again.
