Hi Guys,
I'm going to get straight to the point so I don't waste your time - I'm in need of some opinions about this new PC I'm building, and also I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a few suggestions for a casing as I can't decide (it's preety specific - the card is preety darn long - around 310 mm, and the CPU cooler height is 160 mm). Thanks in advance guys!

Specs:
PSU: Antec EDGE 750 W
GPU: Radeon R9 280X Sapphire Vapor-X Tri-X 3 GB
CPU: AMD FX-8350 8-Core 4.0 GHz
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 1866 MHz (2x4 GB)
MOBO: GIGABYTE 990 FXA-UD3
SSD: Kingston 240 GB HyperX Fury 500/500 MB/s
HDD: Seagate 1 TB
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14
Casing: Dunno. (Along with what I've mentioned before I'd like it to look badass 🙂p) - something like NZXT's LeXa S but full tower maybe?)
Share any and all opinions please! :)

All the cases will fit your components. The only component I don't know if it will fit in those cases is the CPU cooler. When you choose your case from that website, you just have to check if the CPU cooler will fit.

If you are going to use this PC for common office work, ignore this one advice: I recommend getting a better quality PSU. Refer to this link on what power supplies to choose, preferably Tier 1: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.

Will the NZXT Phantom 530 case be alright with you?
 
It is going to be used for gaming 90 % of the time, although I do sometimes have a browser with 12 tabs or so open as I surf the net. Thanks for replying man!
 


Since you are gaming, take the advice I gave you up there.
