Hey all,
Longtime PC gamer, first-time PC builder. After years of buying (and paying a premium) for computers that perform well but often force me to compromise on features I either want but won't get or vice verse, I've finally decided to just build my own rig and make myself happy. I have at least a working knowledge of PC internals and I've found out which components I'm going to install, but there's so many cases out there and I'm not entirely sure on which one to go with when considering everything like appropriate size for my components. I obviously don't want to end up buying a case that's too small, but I don't want to end up with a Panzer tank of a case that's far too large for the parts I install either. Anyway, below I'll list components I plan on purchasing and hopefully some of you ladies and gents more knowledgeable than myself can help me out!
Processor: Intel i7 5820K, LGA 2011-3
Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX
Motherboard: ASUS X99-D
GPU: Nvidia GTX Titan X
RAM: Corsair Dominator 2x8 GB
HDD: Toshiba 2TB 7200 RPM
SDD: Samsung 840, 256 GB
Power Supply: Thermaltake 1200W
I'm going large on the power supply to give me flexibility in the future, so I suppose a case that allows for easy interchangeability is appropriate as well. Thanks in advance!
