Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone has a Phanteks Enthoo Primo computer case? I want to stick in a 360mm Radiator, plus two Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Xtreme Gaming Water cooling Video Card with their respective radiators, plus some fans for directed airflow throughout the rig. Will those all fit in this case?

Finding a case seems to be the most difficult task for me right now. You have helped on several other points in the past, for which I must thank you. I have settled on my build and found GPUs which I believe give the best of both worlds (quite and reliable like the gigabyte model you recommended, yet incredibly high clock and overclock speeds like the strix). The rest of my design has also been set (oddly enough the 850w model PSU is cheaper than both the 750w and 650w), along with the other components. Could you recommend some cases with a strong future proof design? While I will not be using all of the features immediately, I would like to have them available as I expand and upgrade the design over time without having to worry about...

The Enthoo Primo is way too big for conventional use imo.
I've stayed away from full towers for years since the original Phantom due to how stupidly large they are.
A good mid tower like the Enthoo Evolv ATX will fit all of that perfectly fine, and will look great doing it.
Also comes in a Tempered Glass version with glass side panels on both sides and LEDs, which is what I own, and I love it. ;)
If you want to shave cost, the Enthoo Luxe, P400 Series and Enthoo Pro are also great.

How can a case be too big? If it does what I want it to, and fits in the designated area, what is the issue? Also, as far as I have understood so far, larger size cases make for a more future proof design?

Not necessarily.
A mid tower case such as the Evolv ATX mentioned above supports all the storage you would ever need.
Something like up to 5 3.5" bays, two SSD mounting positions, 10.4" EATX support etc.
The only reason I would consider buying a full tower case is if you're running crazy amounts of storage in high end drives.
Larger cases are not necessarily more future proof, although modular ones like the Be Quiet! Dark Base 900 and the Coolermaster Mastercase Pro 5/Maker 5 are good examples of what I would consider futureproof.
Tonnes of customization options and orientations.

Room for an optical drive as well would be preferrable but not required.
