New Budget case.

giingerben · Jul 23, 2014

For my budget build which case is best between the Corsair Carbide SPEC Series SPEC-01 or the NZXT Source 210 Elite?

Both are mid tower cases. Just wanted to see what you guys thought.

Spec -
MSI a88x g45 gaming
msi r9 270x gpu
cooler master 212 evo cooler cpu
Corsair vengeance pro RAM
Thanks.

The Cooler Master 212 EVO has a height of 159 mm.

The maximum CPU height for the Corsair SPEC-01 is 150 mm.

The Cooler Master 212 EVO would not fit the Corsair SPEC-01.

The NZXT Source 210 Elite has a CPU heat sink clearance of 160 mm.

The Hyper 212 EVO should fit he NZXT 210 Elite (~1 mm of space @_@).

Check out the Enermax Ostrog and the Corsair 200R. They're both good cases around $50. They are more spacious compared to the cases you listed and will fit in all your parts without a problem.

BTW it would be better to get a FX 6300 + a Gigabyte UD3P rather than sticking with an Athlon 750k and a fancy FM2+ motherboard.

RazerZ :

I got my mobo and cpu already bro - Athlon x4 760k black @3.8. And I chose it as I would never use the built in graphics as it wouldn't be dual supported with my r9 270x.

cheers though.
