Best Gaming Case 2014

Tesla_Whizz · Aug 19, 2014

Need help choosing the best case for gaming and it needs to accommodate a NZXT Kraken X60.
I have a short list:
Cooler Master HAF X - would need modifying to fit Kraken
Cooler Master Storm Trooper/Stryker - both compatible
Thermaltake Core 71 - compatible I think
Thermaltake Urban T81 - compatible
Thermaltake Chaser A71 LCS full tower - unsure

Any other suggestions for cases? Or should I choose a different water cooling system?

Budget is £150 for case and £150 for water cooling. This is a pc build for my brother who would like water cooling system since he will overclock his CPU and GPU.

I recommend he get a mid tower case as a full tower is probably overkill for his build.

I also recommend a Noctua NH-D15 which will cost much less than the x60, perform exactly the same, and make less than half the noise.

Wow it looks like beast, so wide but stumpy haha.

Oh okay that's interesting. Noctua air coolers are awesome, I have one for my build. In what scenario would you only recommend a full tower case. I would have thought buying a bigger case would allow you space for extra additions of components over the years.

If he had two top-tier GPUs like 780ti's or 290x's. OR if he had a custom water loop. Those are my ONLY two reasons to recommend a full tower.

Nothing you can add to a computer really can't fit in a good mid-tower case. I am running an SLI and overclocked (heavily) setup in my Corsair 300r.

I'm running two R9 290x in my HAF X but with Noctua NH-D15. I bought it to build a custom water loop but still haven't done it lol. My Noctua is sufficient

Check my signature for cramming stuff into a mid-tower case

Waiting on Broadwell and Maxwell to make a clean sweep and get a custom loop going.

If only components were people, they would feel claustrophobic in your case haha.
But that's sweet, I'm waiting for that too and the damn Nvidia 800 series.
