Doubt between cases for Gamer PC

brunosk2 · Jan 5, 2012, 01:42 AM

Good night
I'm new to forum, I made a new pc, and I'm in doubt between these cases:

HAF 922 - Cooler Master
HAF 922 - Cooler Master

HAF 932 AMD Limited Edition - Cooler Master
HAF 932 AMD Limited Edition - Cooler Master (is this correct?)

HAF 932 - Cooler Master
HAF 932 Advanced - Cooler Master

PS: I had chosen the 922, but I was told that the 932 is better.

This is the configuration:
Processor: Core i7 2600k
Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS EXTREME IV
Memory: Corsair 8GB (4x4) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000w 90%
HD: 1TB SATA II 7200rpm/64mb
Video Card: Geforce GTX 590
Cooler: Water Cooler Corsair Hydro Series H60

Not that much of a difference so maybe let the size decide?

I'd consider the Antec P280 as an alternative. Even a gamer system can benefit from being reasonably quiet. Unless maybe you aim to overclock the graphics card a lot, thereby having an actual use for an extra side fan.

The i7 has little to no benefit over an i5 for games. Also consider a motherboard with a less crazy price tag, there shouldn't be any need for it with this system. Instead you could get a decent sized SSD (120/180 GB maybe) for a real performance gain.

Can you really buy an AMD Edition and have Intel and nvidia in it?

I have the "stock" 932 and I'm quite happy with it. Don't know really if it's that much better than the 922 though. I guess it all depends on your needs. The 932 is huge btw so if size is a concern then I'd suggest something smaller.

I'd go for the AMD edition, just so that you appear a balanced individual :P
