Hey guys,
I'm thinking of building a new PC specifically for gaming, and am wondering which case I should get. I'm really troubled by this
since there's just so much choices available, and I don't know the first thing about cases, so hoping for your help with this.
Here are the components I'm getting:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Mobo: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X Video Card
This is the store I'm using as I can get a special deal there:
https://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/index.phtml?bid=9
But like I said, I don't know much about cases, and kinda confused when looking at this list:
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#sort=d5
The only thing I've set down is getting either an ATX Full Tower or ATX Mid Tower, but I have some questions regarding this.
Does the full tower allow for better airflow, lower heat in the case, so it will be cooler compared to the mid tower?
Or are there no difference whatsoever? If so why are the full tower much more expensive compared to the mid tower?
Are there any other advantages other than bigger capacity?
If there are any performance, cooling or circulation related benefits to the full tower, then the field can be narrowed down much more.
Also here's some additional information, I don't know whether they are useful or not:
1. Yes I'm planning on overclocking in the future, but not decided on air or liquid cooler yet, are liquid cooling tied to specific cases?
2. I'm not using an optical drive.
3. Any colours are fine, and I'm perfectly fine with large sizes since I'll be putting it under the table.
And for the case, are there some brands or series which are better than the others?
What are your recommendations for the best bang for the buck?
Anyways really appreciate any help you guys can give!
Best Regards,
sapped
