What case and PSU should I use

Shiroyasha · Dec 23, 2016

I have a Msi Z170a krait gaming motherboard,a gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 gaming . Intel core I5 6600K and
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz ., samsung evo 850 1tb
I will use a cooler master hyper 212 evo for now but I may use an all in one liquid cooler and add another Graphic card , another pair of ram an hdd later .I may also use a slight over clocking for now and increase it later when I upgrade to liquid cooling.
What Case and PSU can I use ?

Few words.

Case is full-tower with very easy access to the PC internals, plenty of fan mounts, nice big window and it has three 5.25" external bays. It comes either with black finish with red LED front fans (2x 140mm) or with white finish with white LED front fans (2x 140mm). Both variations also come with 1x 140mm rear exhaust fan.
It's one of the best full-tower cases available.

PSU comes directly from the best PSU OEM, Seasonic. 80+ Titanium, fully modular and 10 years of warranty.
PRIME series is the best that Seasonic offers. And at current date, PRIME 650 is the best 650W PSU money can buy.
For your system, 650W is more than enough, even when you go with 2-way SLI on your GTX 1070. Two GTX 1070 in a 2-way SLI peak at max 330W. Add the rest of system at about 200W and total system peak would be 530W.
