Need help picking a case that will fit my liquid cooling radiator and near future gpu

[dmartelli84]

Hey all, i recently switched platforms from amd to intel with my cpu. So the old liquid cooling unit wasnt compatible. i just purchased Corsair Hydro Series H110 280 mm because i wanted a good unit that left the back of the case available for my future purchase of SAPPHIRE 100360SR Radeon R9 295x2 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card which is liquid cooled as well. when installing the new corsiar i noticed there wasnt enough room in the top of the case. the motherboard reaches to the top of the case so the mosfet heatsink and memory sticks block the radiator and fans. I would like a mid to full tower that would handle everything i put in it. also if i get a full will i have to use extensions to make some of the connections reach? if so what should i get? Im def trying to avoid any extentions, if i could id like to just switch everything over from one to the other. heres my system info for the hell of it:

Intel® Core™ i7-4790 (turbo 4.4GHz)

8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory

AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB

650 Watt corsair power supply

1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD

ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

And here is a pic of my rig:

Change that TR2 PSU immediately.
As for the case,Phanteks Enthoo Pro Windowed.
The BEST case for the price.

 

[dmartelli84]

Thanks for the input, I am definitely changing the ps4 soon. I got this one a long time ago when I didn't know much. But to be honest I've had it for 2 and a half years and it has given me no problems. But it's time to get something stronger.

 

[dmartelli84]

I like that case it seems my type. I don't go for big flashy ones I just like to be able to see the interior. However I don't see front facing powered usb ports. Maybe I just can't see them?

 

[LukaBoki]

For the Phanteks?
Here's a good review of the Phanteks,it also shows where are the USB ports.

Dude that case is absolutely amazing! im very happy u were able to show me. that is definately what im getting. Im gonna get that plus a new 1000w power supply. so next weekend for the long 3 day weekend im gonna have a big project to look forward to. thanks alot man 😀

 

[LukaBoki]

No problem.
What PSU are you getting? Just to make sure it's good quality.

 

[dmartelli84]

I'm eyeing Eva supernova 1000 g2. It seems compatible and a good price. What do u think?

 

[LukaBoki]

That is one of the best PSUs available,.Definitely go for it.

 

[dmartelli84]

Thanks again for all Ur help! This week it looks like my rig is getting a new body and some more juice as well as a new heart lol

 

[LukaBoki]

Yup.
Have fun with your build. 😉

 

[dmartelli84]

I actually have 1 final question. do you think I will need extensions with that new larger case?if so I wonder if anything will come with the power supply

 

[LukaBoki]

Extensions for what?

 

[LukaBoki]

The right case is a Phanteks Enthoo Primo,which is also a full tower.

You can see that the Pro(left) is fairly "small" for a full tower case. 😉

 

[dmartelli84]

I meant for certain plugs like the motherboard power. Will I need to extend it or will it reach from the power supply?

 

[dmartelli84]

I had my heart set on the pro lol. Do u think the pro will fit everything I want to put in it? I mentioned the radiator I have and the gpu I'm gonna get. If it fits those items that's all I need

 

[dmartelli84]

And the new psu

 

[LukaBoki]

It will fit everything and anything:
http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-pro.html
The H110? Easy,it supports up to 420mm rads on the top.
The R9 295x2? Easy,it has 8 PCIe brackets,so it can fit up to 4 cards.Also has room for 472mm long graphics cards.
The EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1000W? Easily.Also has a cover for the PSU so you keep the stealth look,but it might be more difficult to route the cables to the MoBo and other stuff.

 

[dmartelli84]

That's great news. Looking forward to it. Sorry for being a pain, but when u say difficult to route the cables do u mean in general or with that psu cover? I saw that. It's a nice damn case man. I love the huge fan in the front. The pc is gonna have great air flow

 

[dmartelli84]

Another thing I love is those dust filters. I'm not one to clean out the interior as much as I should and that seems like it'll help a great deal

 

[LukaBoki]

Cable routing MAY be difficult only with the PSU cover,it's gonna be a piece of cake without it. 😉
And you're not a pain,I and every other member on this forum are glad to help anytime. 😉

 

[TonyRoma]

I like the look of that case myself, wasn't even aware of it. That might be going on my shopping list.

 

[LukaBoki]

If you can get it,definitely do,it's said to be the best full tower of 2014.

 

[dmartelli84]

I love the window, that's more important to me than flashiness

 

[dmartelli84]

By the way Luka ime trying to choose Ur reply as best answer but I can't find the button for the life of me. Never Had that problem b4 lol
