    Hi lads, if anyone has a moment to spare it would be great if you could give me a bit of help. I have this build for pc I'm purchasing very soon but I'm not 100% sure if all my parts for it are compatible, especially considering that the pc is quite the investment, I want to be sure.

    Here are the parts:

    8GB-Kit G.Skill RipJaws PC3-12800U CL8-8-8-24
    ASUS PCE-N15
    Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3X OC, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI
    Intel Core i5-4570 Box, LGA1150
    LiteOn iHAS124-04 schwarz SATA
    MSI B85-G41 PC Mate, ATX, Sockel 1150
    WD Caviar Blue 1TB 6Gb's
    Super-Flower Amazon 80Plus 550W
    Zalman Z9 USB 3.0 Midi-Tower - schwarz, ohne Netzteil

    I think I have everything there, a friend helped me with a lot of it. Anyway Thank you!

    These should all work together, at least according to pcpartpicker.com. I was looking at the Z9 before and the front USB3 bothered me as they aren't connected with a USB3 header, you'll need to run the cable through the case, out the back and into the USB3 ports on your mobo.

    Where are you buying from?

    I'm buying everything off hardwareversand, it's the most practical option for me at the moment.
    Would you suggest a different case? It sounds like a bit of a task with the z9.

    I used a corsair carbide 200R. Was my first build and was insanely simple in said case. Nice and cheap, doesn't look bad either. Cable management holes, usb 3.0 and all around lovely to build with!

    Also do you have an os? OEM windows 7 is 50 euro on amazon :D

    It's not a huge deal, it's just something that I know would have bothered me. Do you have any specific requirements for the case? Colour, LEDs, finish?

    Looking around your price range (based on the Z9 price) the Thermaltake Urban S31 is nice.

    That's 20 euro more than the case he had originally?. Maybe the 200r carbide one be better.

    The zalman one has blue lights and looks like it means business but is kinda flimsy looks like I could smash it up with my flaccid penis.

    If your budget is tight go with the 200r.

    That's why I said "around". :P
    Without knowing what he is after in a case it's hard to suggest. As you said the Z9 looks like it means business and maybe that's what the OP wants.

    Thank yous for all the quick replies! Well I'm don't mind if my case is anything flashy, sure it'll be less cool looking but it's something durable with a few usb 3's I'd take any day. I'll look into both cases and see what's within my budget of under 800.

    For 50 bucks or I'd be looking at the 200R as suggested above or Shinobi if you want to tone down the bling factor.
