if you told us a little bit about what you plan on doing with the computer and your budget if any, I can help more.

what Corsair or NZXT model there are a lot of models out there.

what size motherboard are you planning on using, water cooling an option, what graphics card will you be putting into it too.

I have owned the Cooler Master Scout they have since released a newer version so Im not sure what it offers- it was a great first case and for the price 70buck (I waited) it was pretty sweet, I liked the red fans and the handle for carrying. problem was it wasn't able to fit a GTX 970 graphics card in there.

I recently bought the Thermaltake GT 10 Snow edition. much more money but a much better case, has more space, bigger fans...

I recently bought the Thermaltake GT 10 Snow edition. much more money but a much better case, has more space, bigger fans, smoother edges, very aesthetic too. I got mine for 170 on sale, I just kept waiting. and there are keys to lock up your hardware and drives.


good luck!

Hi there,

I have decided to go for the NZXT 820 Phantom, the Motherboard that i am going for is the EVGA X99 Classified Intel Socket 2011-13 DDR4. The graphics card that I am going for is also the EVGA GTX 980Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+. The water cooling that I went for was the NZXT Kracken X61 which according to them is the Varible speeed water pump (whatever that means). My budget was about £4,0000 and I have spent so far £3,357.01 and I still need to get the Graphics card, power supply, Motherboard and of course a 4K monitor by Acer which is the XB280HK 28".

I have gone over my budget but I don`t mind the one thing in which i am deciding is to whether to go for two graphics cards or one graphics card not to sure? If you can give me any adivce about the EVGA if it is any good or not or you can suggest any thing else you can do.

Thank you for your answer

The EVGA model is a good one to go for if purchasing a 980Ti. Also, if you are planning to go for a 4K gaming setup, I'd personally recommend two cards in SLI. I noticed you may not be all to familiar with water cooling, and I'm no expert myself. However, I highly recommend the YouTube channel JayzTwoCents. He is next to an expert on water cooling and can answer any questions you may have, and has done reviews on a few 980Ti's if you are looking for a comparison at various resolutions.
