Hey everyone, I am building my first ever computer, for gaming, and I have chosen all my parts except for the case. I have narrowed it down to two cases I really like, but I am not sure which one is better. Both are full tower cases as I would like the extra room should I feel the need to add anything onto the computer later.

The first one is a nice case: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml... I like it because it has the window, but its not necessary at all.

The second one I like more, I think it looks cooler, and would prefer to get this one if there is no real problems with it, or reason not to. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml...

If it matters what I plan on putting into the case heres my planned build:

CPU: Intel core i5-3570K 

CPU fan: Cooler Master hyper212 cpu cooler
Mobo: ATX motherboard 2666MHz (socket 1155) (z77 based)
RAM: Corsair-Vengence 2-pack 4GB DDR3 DIMM (1600MHz) (low profile)
GPU: GTX670 video card

Optical drive: HP-24X internal Double-Layer DVD ± RW/CD-RW Drive 

Power Supply: Corsair-Gaming Series 700-watt ATX CPU power supply 

HDD: Western Digital- Caviar Black 1TB internal serial ATA Hard Drive for desktops 

SDD: Corsair-Force Series 3 120GB internal serial ATA III solid state drive

I like the nzxt also and it will fit your cooler and gpu without a problem.
If you have to ship it, newegg has it $5 cheaper and shipping is $3 cheaper too.

Get the NZXT since you like it better, there are no problems with it.
