    I forgot about that, I decided a while back I wanted to go full tower (also the noctis didn't have any front side bays, was all fans) and I never switched it :P The new one should have plenty of room, has front side bays, and the ports are on top (not that it bothers me I rarely use the ports anyways )

    Look at Cooler Master cases, they have some lulus, HAF line seems to be very popular

    I looked at the HAF line, doesn't really interest me but the Cosmos II did! However I refuse to drop $500+ on a case, so that is a no go :P I like NZXT anyways, but to better support the x61 kraken cooler I did bump up to the phantom 820 from the 630 And I'm pretty happy with it overall

    Yea I planned on the 1200 to leave plenty of room for upgrades :P That and I always like to go big when I build, a nice PSU running under half load lasts a lot longer than one running under almost full
    I have always believed get the best PSU with the most available output as you budget allows........However, if you do not intend to add more components anytime soon then the 1200W just might be a little overboard as they say.....

    You really will not need that power at this time and you have to consider that when the time comes that you will need the additional power that there will most likely be newer and better performing units on the market.....

    That looks better, nice case. Like that nice cable management.

    As for the chassis.........have you looked at this one from Phanteks....

    I am finding it a pleasure to work with and cable management is fantastic.....plenty of room for those monster GPU cards and very decent air cooling and or water cooling opportunities......

    I already switched to a better quality 1000w PSU

    As count already said I can't fit my cooler in there, and I also REALLY like NZXT cases. I looked at a lot of others from corsair, cooler master, etc and there wasn't much i liked. And what I did like (Cosmos II) is super expensive Thanks for the input though, I think I'm pretty much set on what I'm gonna buy!
