Is this case good for gaming?

[Pedrovsky]

Hey guys,


I was looking for a some parts for a friend's pc when i stumbled upon this case:

http://www.nox-xtreme.com/en/chassis/coolbay-slim

It looks very apealing to me...i just don't think the airflow would allow me to go for very fancy components, also I understand, overclocking would be completly out of question...as would keeping the included PSU.

Do you think i could stick a 7850 hd and a i5 3550 in there and get nice temps? or it would be to much eat? also sould i go for a blower type GPU? would that help keep things warmer?

Thanks

That case is just 99mm wide!. A standard GPU won't fit inside it
If you're looking for a budget gaming mid tower, Rosewill challenger is probably the best choice for the price.

i'm not looking for budget, i'm looking for slim... but i haven't even considered what you just pointed out... Is there any GPU that would fit it?

 

[Pedrovsky]

i'm pretty sure that i could fit a saphire hd 7850 in that case

Looking at the photos of the back it appears that only half-height cards will fit. Look at the size of the PCI slots on the back.

yeah you guys are right...sorry for being noobish...they looked just fine on my eyes

only way to get way with it would be using an APU if the A10 turns out to be enough to do some gaming wich is unlikely to happen...

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but with something like this card, you can build a pretty good budget gaming system around that case!
