Considering white(ish) build w/RBG in black case. I do a build every 8-10 years so here I am again. Would like some general feedback, any cautions or words of wisdom, and trying to find a decent case.
Purchasing Date: Now, prior build finally is having issues and decided it was time to update.
Budget: Leading edge, not bleeding edge
System Usage: I build for gaming since any work I do on this computer a gaming rig will be able to handle
Monitor: Samsung 32' Odyssey OLED G8 (G80SD) 4K UHD 240Hz ($968.59) - bought with corporate discount off Samsung site
OS: Windows 11 new
Location: Los Angeles Area
Parts list so far:
-Ryzen 7 7800x3d ($461.95) - Walmart
-Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24 Bg ($1,102.49) - Newegg
-Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX ICE ($199.99) - Newegg
-Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32Bg (2x16) RGB (6000/CL30) ($148.83) - Amazon
-Samsung 990 Pro 2 Tb ($168.65) - bought with corporate discount off Samsung site
-Arctic Liquid Freezer III (depends on case decision...would like 360 if it fits)
-PSU - TBD thinking 1200/1300w to be safe
-Legacy parts from old comp: 5.25" HDD SATA, 5.25" optical drive, 120 Gb Corsair GForce SDD
Case:
-Ideally Black tower with USBc front port, and ability to hold 5.25" front facing optical and internal 5.25 HDD. Can sacrifice the front 5.25" optical in favor of an external if need be but still want to use the 5.25" internal HDD.
-Considering:
-Thermaltake Core v71 - problem is while it can handle 2 x 5.25" (including one front facing), no USBc in front/top and adding the front oprital prohibits the 3 fan liquid cooling option as the optical takes up that space on the top front of case
-MSI Pano P100 - No 5.25" support
-**Be Quiet Dark Base 901 or smaller (still trying to figure out if this works...looks like it might have a 5.25" mount hidden under a flap??)...this might be the choice, but still looking into it.
Thanks again!
