need help with choosing a case, following two cases, are they big enough to fit my current build?? By the way, i use to hang on my laptop( currently using) for some online games for couples days. Therefore, do I need a better heatsink or stock i5 heatsink is good enough (not going to overclock for sure, 'cause dont even know how anyway~~) If I do need a better heatsink, should I change to a bigger case? Again, I want to keep it small, cubic size looks good to me, but definitely not tower size.
