Hey everyone,

I need some help finding the right case for my build and need some ideas.I just want to water cool a gtx 580 for now and keep everything else on air cooling. So maybe a 240 rad would be good enough right? I also want a case that requires NO modding, none. I want a full tower, I was looking along the lines of HAF-X or ATCS 840. I think the Corsair 800D or TJ07 would be overkill, as I don't need complete WC.

Right now I have an H70 cooler on my i7 930 CPU and I plan on overclocking, but not ridiculous levels. I perfer to keep it, but if i have to waterblock, i will need a 360 rad?

I'm upgrading from an Antec 1200, my MB is an EVGA FTW3 with a Corsair 1200AX

Any feedback would be appreciated. Again I don't want to mod the case at all.
