not planning to have a SSD as well?

I believe there is no such cpu as i5-4570k. And I believe is best buy PC price list. Only i5-4670k.


The thing is do you need overclock system? if not you could save more.

 

[Mr.Eric]

First off, please get a better cpu cooler to cool your processor since I assume you are overclocking.

Also, Windforce GTX 760 is a rather long card. It will fit the Phantom 410 though, but almost no space between the HDD cage and the card itself, so do bear that in mind.

I do recommend you to get yourself a Seasonic G series instead of X series because it is cheaper and performs almost the same as well.

do consider a SSD as your OS drive

No SSD? No CPU cooler? (Assuming you intend to overclock, otherwise what's the point of the z board and k cpu.

The upper hdd cage is removable on the phantom 410

Only trying to future-proof the rig .. so maybe next time can try overclock

because it looks really good

Looks good on the outside.
Next to no features on the inside.

i go research more

 

[Diaborex]

Anyone have a non overclock build based on my parts?

I've been using the phantom 410 gunmetal since early-mid 2012. If you were to buy the case, I got some caution to give.

The coating on the rubber/reset switch is known (probably like me and 2 others at least..) to peel off after awhile, leaving some kind of sticky residue. My power button also seems to get stuck after pressing it, and know a few people with the same situation, though I managed to loosen it by bending the ends slightly.


No front filter for the 'normal' edition of the case (red/black/white)

Thanks for the heads up. the top also no filter right?

Nope no dust filter on the top. I actually cover the top with foam mat since I don't use top fan.

Anyway, remembered another thing. The rubber grommets for the cables, mine leave a powdery smudge if I pass my finger through them (also know another person having similar issue), could be a problem if you're using white sleeved cables. Don't know if it's because it's damn humid here or the nature of rubber grommets, just to let you know.

Been saying negative stuffs on the casing, but I still think it's a good case.
But if I were to make a decision again, I think I'd have gone with the FD R3/R4.

fractal design also very nice

 

[shadow84]

fractal design also very nice

Yup.. Clean design, no overly done meshs...... can try the Define R4 or Arc Midi r2...

 

[royfrosty]

Sharkoon t28, T5, can try matx chassis if you are getting an matx setup like corsair 350D or the Fractal design mini

If aesthetic is concern then can try others like for nzxt you might wanna wait for next month. They are launching H230 in sg. One of the most elegant white chassis I have seen. With 2 noise dampening materials at each side of the chassis. In america is $69.90usd I hope in sg it should be around $119 lol.

For now if you dont mind can get the fractal r4 white or black.

if not overclocking den go for non-overclock build den shld be able to add in a SSD.
