Additional Comments: This PC will be moved from my bedroom to the living room while all the wiring will passed through the walls to my bedroom. I'd like this to be fairly quiet to not disturb others who may be in the living room even when i'm doing heavy gaming.
I went with the H105 over the H100 or H110 because i'd like to have three 120mm fans in the front of the case rather than two 140mm fans. The H105 is pretty thick but the case is roomy enough to have it in a push pull setup in the front.
The motherboard and memory are excessive. But i like how it looks, aesthetically, with the rest of the black/white/silver setup.
I plan to use the two M.2 SSD's in RAID 0 for the OS. The 1 TB will be mostly for game storage of other games and titles.
I was trying to find a good mix between quiet, performant, and very stylish looking (that wasnt black and red).
The speakers and the mice aren't critical for this build and can be purchased later.
