Looking to upgrade existing rig as seen on the right.

i5-4690K
Z87 or Z97 mobo?
crossfire r9 390x

Need recommendations for a CF power supply and a generic ATX case with no window. Prefer a plain generic looking case like coolermaster CMP 350 but it seems to have space constraint for a long card despite being ATX case.

Thank u bro.

There are no issue with the current setup just that looking at exploring overclocking with big huge hsf with dual graphics. Can u advise where can I get the phantek PH-TC14PE for i5-4690K and is fractual design Edison M 750W 80+ Gold a good power supply for CF.

Thanks bro.

Any casing experts can recommend a generic looking ATX case that is lightweight and has a top mounted power supply. Non window casing.
