Insecurities about my first case

BrainyToons · Sep 4, 2016

I am a colobian 12 year old and i am new in the pc building community i am saving for my gaming rig that has a 1000$ budget that can go a little overboard.

My part selection is

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170- Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card : Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 6GB G1 Gaming Video Card

Power Supply: Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Monitor: LG 25UM56-P 25.0" 60Hz Monitor

But I havent decided on a case yet can anyone please help me choose one.

I am searching for a black mid tower, no front pannel window, usb 3.0 at the front and a design similar to the EVOLV ATX by phanteks or a mastercase 5 by coolermaster but at a cheaper price of 50 dollars or lower.
Can anyone please help me and if you recommend me to change any of the parts i chose please tell me

I'd change the PSU to something slightly better the CX series isn't that great. I'd also consider getting DDR4 RAM as it will be faster and compatible with the 6600k. It is difficult recommending parts as you are Colombian but what about this. It has half decent cable management although slightly ugly imo.

Thank you so much for the help spat55 i never imagine someone will help in under an hour

the new CXM is actually quite decent depending on how far you want to overclock. if you're able to secure a XFX Ts Gold, EVGA Supernova GS/G2 or a Seasonic G/SSP unit it would be better though
I wouldn't go with that liquid cooler though. it will be louder than an air cooler while not providing any cooling benefits
a Cryorig, Noctua or Phanteks CPU cooler will be more than sufficient and probably even cheaper while providing the same performance

Isokolon :

Got a CX 750 myself and it's not that bad but I think it has coil whine, or at least giving my GPU coil whine.

the CXM series got recently upgraded and is a nice unit
the CX will follow but hasn't received an upgrade yet

also I do not know how your PSU would "give" your GPU coil whine...

Isokolon :

Unclean power, some crossover between 3.3v and 5v rails, I know some people have said that changing the PSU has stop coil whine on the GPU before. I'll see for myself when I upgrade it.

Interesting. I certainly know too little about the topic (for example how crossover between the 3.3V & 5V rails would influence a GPU that draws it's power from the 12V rail and how that would effect the card to create a certain noise) but it sounds interesting. pls tell me when you do!
