Best Case supporting high CPU and GPU

M

Hi guys i am in process of upgrading my case which supports cpu cooler about 175+ mm and 270+mm for gpu with much of cooling option.

Kindly suggest me one within 4-5k max budget. I would be happy to keep it as low as possible.

Lancool PC-K62 Black/Corsair Carbide 400R/CM 690 II Advanced/CM HAF 912 Advanced

M

Please let me know the prices and the cpu support in mm.

Corsair is good but whity

I like the crosair 400r whats the cpu length with fan . Does it support silver arrow heatsink

i got it it also comes close to 6k. I dont understand mounting case costing a hell of money what is going on.

I would recommend CM HAF 912 Advanced
most cases at that price are all all quite good.
Get any of the cases Jaskanwar mentioned and you are set

Corsair Carbide 400R or CM 690 II Advanced both are Awesome Cases

I like corsair and it fits my budget. Any one can post the price and online availability.

Also i building one for my cousin. He needs a small cabinet one we use for media centre like. whats the minimum price and any suggestion for that.

My vote goes for CM HAF 912 Advanced .

Use any HTPC cabinet. Budget?

Corsair 650D and CM HAF-X

Corsair Carbide 400R as it can fit Silver Arrow or Even H100 easily.

I had silver arrow currently and its heatpipes protruding in my gamma case. But one think i was wondering why so much costing for a metal case. Not sure how the IT peripherals costing going to be in future.

Wait before getting those cards. Price will decrease a lot once their next gen 7xxx cards will be out.

Yes i will wait for the gpu until next year. As i had to buy psu since then i felt like investing one. But i dont want to settle a high costing psu for 10k . But this feels good and comes in a good budget. So i picked it. I will see for the gpu the new series only .

Its 80+ certified for gaming and people 99 percentage recommend they are good.

Is there any way to measure the power usage via any system software.

Try this, although can't vouch for it:-

Joulemeter - Microsoft Research

^^ Great review.

@ macho84: Excellent Video Reviews it will inspire member to create video reviews.

Thanks. Actually i was planning to take another once my cooling LED fans arrive. I will post leftout snap shots of the case assembled and video review in depth of this case. i really like the case. Each penny is a worth for this case. Its true that cases cost high as tech grows and demand also grows thereby Money factor will get upped. But this case is a one of excellent build for the budget users.

Watch out here for further reviews.
