Tt Level 10 GT or CM Storm Stryker

[RobertEnglish]

Hi, I'm looking to use one of these cases as part of my first build but I'm unsure which is the best for me.

My build will consist of an;

>> ASRock extreme6/ac mobo
>> Intel i7 4770K cpu
>> Corsair AXi 850W psu
>> Corsiar H100i cpu cooler
>> Radeon 7950 gpu
>> 8GB of ram

For this build and taking into consideration;

>>Internal air-flow
>>Wire managment
>>Number of 5.25" and 3.5" bays
>>Internal space (enought to fit above components and a little room for expansion)
>>Overall size (not too big, not too small)
>>The front ports
>>USB headers and SATA connections
>>Build quality
>>Noise of stock fans!

With all of that in mind what is the best case for the job?

If this is just for gaming buy 4670k.
Look gigabyte or MSI mobo. They are maybe cheaper.
Corsair Axi is not so good. Really much reliability issues.
Look seasonic 850w bronze or Maybe new corsair RM
You are buying from US so maybe you can find Superflower Golden Green 600-800w.
This is really good. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=229

Id look for 1866MHz memory or faster 2133 / 2400Mhz.
G.skill is maybe best buy. Look lower Cl latency.

Corsair H100. Well good air cooler can do same job with half price.
Here is couple options.

This is new cpu cooler.

Look new phanteks case too.

I really love this case. It is awesome!

For video card look new R 290. For better performance. And maybe future CF it is much better than 7950. 280 can be good option too.

Hope this helps make better guild. Good luck!

Thaks for the input. For my CPU, I already have it on the way (a lovely 21st b-day present!).

As for my mobo, I was really putting it down to the ASUS PRO or the ASRock extreme6/ac (what are your thoughts on that?). My mobo limit is $200 so they fit the bill and there's less faffing around with external WiFi cards.

Although it's not considered a problem(only in exterme conditions), I hate the idea of attaching a big ol' heatsink to a motherboard. Should I ever decide to move the whole rig, I can't but help think of it shaking and wobbling until something inevetibly gives way. Though I do like how you kept with the black/white theme for the Phanteks CPU cooler.

My GPU and RAM are already taken care of (21st again ) so it's back to the case. I do appreciate your recommendation of the Phanteks case but my mind is set on either the Tt Level 10 GT (Snow Edition) and the CM Storm Stryker. So, of those two cases what's considered a better buy, and why?

OK.

Asus PRO is good. Gigabyte is same level with OC and other sstuff. But missing that wifi + bluetooth. But gigabyte makes good wifi card.

Some mobos do have that on board.

AsRock is not so good with reliability. Looks cool but thats about it.

Sorry I have no idea is Level 10 better than CM.

I have now Enermax Fullmo GT and that is really crap.
Only good thing is that I did trow in 560 rad and planning to do side window next. But really this is crap. I wonder how did plan this.
Id like to kick this designer ass and really good.
No easy way with this case. If you want to remove top fan you end up trouble. Need really small screw driver to oper 4 screws. with 45 degree angle! Or or uninstalling the half enclosure.

With air cooling OK with stock fans.

Btw. Do u like case like this?

Id look Silverstone LianLi Well Phanteks is hard to beat.

Maybe that level 10 is best for u If yuo like something do not ask others opinions. They can mess up your mind
