I'm working on putting together a new workstation pc. I will also be using it for some gaming, but mostly it will be for game design. The motherboard is the Asus X99-DELUXE so I am going with a white theme on the build. I would like it to look cool, but I'm not planning to spend a whole lot on aesthetics. I'm looking for a case that is around $100. I could go higher if it's worth it, but would prefer not to. I'm also trying to find some white DDR4 ram to go in it. I would like it to be fairly easy to move as I'll be using it for work in my room and moving it out to the living room to use with the HTC Vive. Here is the part list I have put together so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/265lutab/saved/zvRQzy
Is there a specific reason you are going with 2 512gb ssd instead of just a 1 tb ssd which looks to be cheaper. And as for you monitor I would have to say that a 28 inch for 4k might make a lot of text and ui come out very small it just might be a little hard to see. As for cases fractal makes good cases and really when it comes to a case its in the eyes of the beholder.
I would get 2 512gb drives to set up in raid. Though I'm thinking I may just get one I'm not sure I really need two. I think I may just save that money for now. I have seen this monitor and it's a good one I'm happy with it. I will also be getting a deal on it from a friend who upgraded from it. I will be getting a 32" monitor to go with it as an upgrade down the line when I have more to spend. Do you have any cases you like? It may not be what I want to go with, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
H440 is great case. Phanteks Enthoo Pro (Pro M) is great case. No need to recommend Fractal, people will... They already said Fractal have no bad cases, and I may say Fractal have 2 good cases: Arc Midi R2 and Define R4 I repeat R4... I have endless issues with R5 and Define S.... For SSDs, why Samsung? Is it because of the ram caching thing? If you really need the speed go with a Pci-e SSD and have 2-3 GB/s... Otherwise if you need the storage I will not say go SSD at all... But whatever, there are 300$ 1TB SSDs... You are spending 500$...
Fractal is overhyped simply due to the minimalistic aesthetic most people here prefer... The quality is actually not that amazing and occasionally, particularly with the core series, extremely lacking. I own a node 304 and while not a terrible case, I haven't really been that impressed with i either, I will soon upgrade that rig to an enthoo evolv itx.
Both are great cases. Additionally you could go enthoo luxe since you're looking at the 760T or even an evolv (bigger version obviously). Not quite to the price of the Enthoo Primo which is another excellent case (but its pretty damn big).
