Build for Minisch(r)ott by rewarder #1
Ok then ... here we go with another build, which I'm going to put together for one of my Dialbo III gaming friends

First of all ... these are the components:

ASUS Maximus VIII Hero
Intel Core i7-4790K
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti
120 GB SSD
1 TB HDD

So far we're in the phase of deciding which case we want to use ... If you have any suggestions, we would be happy to read them

Re: Build for Minisch(r)ott by rewarder #2
Hmm

I know your taste in term of case so I should remove any too plastic/cheap stuff. Hero is ATX and 980Ti is pretty long card.
Are you going to use it in LAN Parties? Need handles or so?

What about cooling? AIO/Air or watercooling?

Let's do a list:
Fractal Define S
NZXT 450
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (despite the M..is ATX)

Honestly..the ProM is quite nice..I would go with that.

InWin 904 Plus

AIO behind (use one with small tube not like H80i or so because are too thick) since the space for CPU cooler is only 137mm.

Or Lian Li..07S

M7G?

You are getting old boss Check first post, M8 Hero with Haswell
Haswell or Skylake? Gene or Hero?

On InWin 904 I think you can put a 240mm outside, check on google I'm not so sure.

Actually, this time I'm right The M7G block also fits the M7H (old Marc is beating Lazy Luca )

The 904 looks really cool but I don't know how practical it is for watercooling. I'm actually thinking about using the PC-O8 for this build. In this case I'll have to find another way to fit pump and res compared to the way I had it.

904 is cool but yes, you can use only a 240mm
