Yea I got that cooler master case cause the color scheme goes really well with a "Ryzen" build. The GPU holder is nice but what I didn't realize initally is that it actually blocks some of my sata ports and to remove it and re-adjust it fully, you would need to remove the mobo first and by the time I realized it, I had most things setup already. Luckly, u can push it more to the right so it's not that much of an issue. The other odd thing is that it has 4 usb 3.0 ports for the mobo so it come with 2 usb 3.0 headers and most mobo only has one usb 3.0 header.

Apart from that though, it's a really awesome case. And yea, it is pricey but I got it on sale for $100 off so... :P

And yea, I am on board with the tempered glass/rgb hype train. They just make the case feel more premium than acrylic but of course, if you drop acrylic, nothing happens but you drop tempered glass... RIP

Well I could always roll with a case like that once it drops down in price for a future Ryzen buold

Not sure if I'll jump on the RGB train yet. I know I'll want a backlit kb though.

 

Would 3 120mm "be quiet" fans suffice you think?. I'm not fond of Noctua's colour scheme, like they've stuck with that one for years lol.

Be quiet fans are quite nice since they are, well quiet! But it doesn't really matter regardless since airflow in cases has hardly ever been an issue unless you get InWin cases. So you can't really go wrong either ways but if it were up to me, I'd go for quietness over anything else. Assuming you get a nice motherboard, your mobo should be able to manage the fan speeds anyway.

Yeah, I'm about quit levels myself, which is why I was thinking on the BQ line of fans. I'd love to have one at the top and two on the side panel just to keep things going in case I decide to oc my GPU or CPU (even though that one has it's own dedicated fan).

All I need to do now really is just decide on the monitor, though I'm still leaning towards a 1080 144hz model.

All I can say is, Asus + IPS + 144hz and you can never go back. IPS is god tier. (Until Oled/Quantum Dot shit gets affordable)

IPS is what I'm looking for  

 

I'll check for a G-sync Asus model (inb4 sold out)

Also what kind of 120mm fans would you go for?. I need to grab 3 more for the current case.

The only fans I use in any of my systems is Noctua. I don't settle for anything less.
They are expensive though. But should outlive your rig.

Not all IPS panels are created equal. I have seen some good TN panels look superior to some cheap shit IPS.
High quality VA panels can beat IPS on black levels too.

Personally eying off the Asus PB328Q. 32", 1440P, VA panel, 10-bit display with a 12-bit LUT and a 75hz refresh rate for only $800 AUD.
My Dell u2711 is showing it's age. And I want something bigger than only 27".

What about this one?:

I've got my eye on at least 6 1920x1080 144hz monitors on Scan so far.

I might have to reinstall my Windows. The weird issues are increasing in frequency. Yesterday I had RL crashing 3 times on me. This has only happened since the past few weeks and it's happening more frequently now. I haven't updated my graphics driver for a while but it shouldn't deteriorate like this. I installed the latest one yesterday and will observe over the next few days. If it crashes again I'll reinstall Windows.

God bless multiple hard drives. I just hope the new Windows 10 will find the storage spaces of the old Windows 10 alright.

TN panel. Only 1080P. And 24.5". 6-bit panel with some tricks to make it 8-bit.

They are okay if you don't mind suffering from extensive eye bleed. Haha

Bonus would be responsiveness on that panel. TN usually holds an edge. 240hz is icing on the cake.

As a framerate aficionado is 240Hz over 144Hz a useful jump? It sounds to me like wasted performance for extremely minimal gain.
