First time build from scratch


(You)
I want your thoughts on a rig..

(everyone else)
Ok? What's the budget? What will it be used for? What do you plan on doing internally in the future? Watercooling or phase change(rare)? What you're looking for? So many questions... being specific could have saved a few posts and finished the thread so you can buy away.
 
Most vague post i ever read... I don't see how the R4 is too square? Squares are everywhere.. The 800d,650d, even the Switch 810 are all squares. To be picky on that is like not liking websites... which are again squares(sometimes rectangles) based.

Sorry for the confusion I meant to say Cube, not square. and as far as Picky I just mean a nice clean look, not Bulky excesive weird shaped cases. just a nice clean look like the 800D, square/rectangle not cube.

A cube is a 3D square my friend:p

Anyways apart from just being literal(for no reason:p) I understand where you are coming from. I perfer sleek cases like my R4. Sleek ,understated, and quite but yet still spacious enough to put in the best hardware is what drew me to it. Same thing with the ArcMidi2(don't own it) but it's really the same thing apart form the outside looks.

The 650D/600T IMHO are inferior to newer cases. They are still great but i feel not worth their money.

I guess I should have elaborated more on my first post. I have been reading forums my whole life but this is pretty much the first time I ever made a topic. so I will clarify a few things. 1. Price dont really matter 2. Will mostly be used for Gaming. 3. Sometime in the future I would like to look into going with a nice loop for everything. 4. If the 800D is a bad choice for the build im going with I would like suggestions on a case similar to the 800D in size / shape. again sorry for the confusion, I am a noob when it comes to custom PCs.

It's all good. Learning is what makes you human:)

I think the Switch810 is the best overall case on the market. Can do aircooling extremely well and has the ability to fit a very big loop in there without a sweat. Not very expensive in comparison to a Caselabs/800D/900D so that's what makes it very popular. And for good reason as I've stated.

Funny you say that I was just looking at the Switch810, very nice Looking case, as well as functionality. I look forward to this build and plan to upload some pics. The only question I still have is if the Asus Sabertooth z87 will be a good choice.
 
Nice case pick.

The sabertooth is far to ugly for any pc IMO... Better mobos are out their form Gigabyte and MSI.

The Sabertooth is only slightly overpriced because of the thermal armour, which you either love or hate. Performance-wise it does absolutely nothing.

It's still a solid board though, can't really go wrong with it. I do agree that Gigabyte and MSI have some pretty amazing boards as well!
 
^^ I never said anything about price lol:)

Nah, I was just pointing out that it's a good board for the price (which is a little higher because you get the thermal armour thing with it). You may think it looks horrible, others think it's beatufil as ef. Nevertheless it's a good board, and that's what I was trying to make clear :)
