Hello I am planning on building an entire rig for the first time and I am mainly going for a white/red/black themed build. This rig will mainly be used for gaming and some occasional video editing. On the parts that I have already chosen I would appreciate any opinions on parts that are either better for the same price or the same quality but cheaper. I have decided on most of the parts but i am still undecided on the case. With in mind the white theme I really like the Enthoo Luxe (White) OR the Evolv ATX (Galaxy Silver).

Here are the parts I plan on ordering:

CPU - Intel i7 6700k

MOBO - Gigabyte Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7

STORAGE - Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM

COOLING - Cryorig H5A Mid Tower Cooler

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16gb (2x8gb) 288-Pin DDR4 2133

Parts I already own:

GPU - MSI GTX960 Gaming 4g

STORAGE - Sandisk 240gb SSD

PSU - Rosewill 80 PLUS BRONZE ATX 12V 550W

Any opinions on which case would look better are much appreciated and any opinions on the parts are also welcomed. Thank you!

the small hard drive will be slow compared to a larger unit but you have the SSD.
everything looks good to me.

the whiter interior is a three hour fix with some tape and a can of paint. :)

they are both pretty. ;)
I do not buy a case based on looks. function is more important in a case, how much time to you actually spend staring at the case? get a good solid thick case that is highly configurable and good cooling and you will not need another. ever. I have had the same inwin q500a full tower for over 10 years, and i do not forsee needing another.

Yeah I haven't checked out how good their aiflow is. But by the high ratings and all the reviews on YouTube they both seem to be extremely good cases with a lot of features. The only thing that really seperated the two in my opinion is price and looks so that's why I'm asking.

Yeah. Personally I like the evolv better on the outside although I wish it had a white interior. But other than the case do you think all of the other parts are a good value?
