Computer Case Help

[Divakar Nambiath]

Hey guys, I've been planning for some time to upgrade my PC, and have already decided on which all parts to buy. My present rig is this -

i5 760 processor 2.8GHz
MSI Gtx 460
Some 4GB RAM (I'm not sure which one)
H55 chipset Intel motherboard
Cooler Master Elite 310 ATX Case, along with another cooler master PSU (again, not sure how much wattage).

The reason I don't know many parts is cos my dad assembled this PC like 6 years ago, so I was just a kid back then 😛

Anyway, I'm planning to get myself this rig -

i5 4690k processor 3.5GHz-3.9GHz (+overclocking)
MSI Z97 PC Mate Mobo
G.Skill 1×8 GB Ripjaws RAM
Asus Strix GTX970

Now here I run into the problem. Will my current case be able to properly fit all these parts? The case can allow for 2 additional fans (it comes fitted with one), and I'm planning to buy one for the side panel. Do I require more if I'll overclock CPU and GPU? And will all this fit properly with 3 fans in this case?

If this case won't be good enough, then for this rig, can you recommend to me the cheapest available case? My budget is anyway stretched even if i dont buy a case, so please, the case should be cheapest in terms of price, yet having decent utility. I dont mind a Case+PSU but just case is fine too. I plan to buy Seasonic S12G 620W PSU if the case doesn't have one.

Thank You

assuming your other computer was a custom build, cases and motherboards are standardized. atx to be specific. if your old motherboard looks about roughly the same size as your new motherboard, everything will fit.

just a side note, you are going to want 2x4 gb of ram. ram is dual channel, ie you need to to run at optimum speeds.

Yea, the other computer was a custom build, yes. I'll compare mobo sizes then. And all this will fit even if I attach another 2 fans, one on the rear and side panel?

Eh, sorry to be a noob, but why do I need 2×4 and not 1×8? 😛
Also, I'll either get the strix or the MSI gaming, whichever one's cheaper.

I wouldnt buy a coolermaster PSU, buy an EVGA or Seasonic or antec

I'm not buying a cooler master PSU, I'll buy a Seasonic S12G 620W if required. My question is whether the cabinet I have of cooler master is big and good enough for the rig I aim to buy.

Oh sorry didnt see that it was your current build well good i recommend it those are great PSU's. Just make sure if your overclocking to buy a watercooler.

because ram is designed to run in dual channel mode for more speed. it requires 2 sticks.

Sorry for the ridiculously late reply, and thanks 😀 I did choose a Seasonic, the S12G Seasonic 650W 80+ Gold certified PSU, and the Corsair 200R Compact ATX Case! Thanks 😀
