I've been thinking about this case: DEEPCOOL Tesseract SW-BK https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853002
to use with i7-7700k and Gigabyte Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti AORUS Xtreme Edition (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125954), and for Processor cooling, I would use Phanteks PH-TC14PE (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709001).

Would all these components work together?
Would the Tesseract SW-BK cool them enough, and would be the processor cooling good enough with this build?

I really want to avoid watercooling and I prefer also performance, but also love to have a nice design with Blue leds (to sync with the rest of my build (chair, keyboard and mouse)).

There's one cooler on the rear, one for front and two coolers on the roof. Is this enough cooling for this set?

If not, any suggestion for a better case, to have a cool design as well? :)

Thanks in advance!

That cooler looks pretty beefy. A big Noctua dual-tower or CRYORIG R1 Ultimate are also good air options.

I might be a bit concerned with the airflow in that case. Only one 120mm rear exhaust and 120mm intakes might not move enough air for those parts.

EDIT: This case has a similar aesthetic but accommodates 140mm fans and more of them, there are lots of options

That case looks a lot better!
I heard that the Phanteks PH-TC14PE is a slightly worse than NH-D15 cooler, but NH-D15 looks pretty ugly in my opinion, and do not want to paint it to cause more noise from the fans.

So should I just avoid that Phanteks then?
And yeah, I thought that the Tesseract case would be too bad for components like those (high-end), when the case is itself a budget case.
Should I look for cases with 140mm compatible airing instead of 120?

That case is definitely budget for the components you plan to put inside. CRYORIG or Noctua as stated above.

I don't understand you needing it to be black and blue when in an all black case you can have all blue LED. But that's your taste...


Go on pcpartpicker pick a few cases and look at the builds associated with.them.

If you are set on the black and blue, a CRYORIG R1 Ultimate is black.

For fans, 140mm will move more air at a lower RPM. You can get equivalent performance from good 120mm fans but they run faster.
