LIAN LI Lancool PC-K62 Black 0.8 mm SECC, Plastic + Mesh ATX Mid Tower Computer Case


- i used this case to build my brother's gaming computer. It has plenty of airflow. Cable management for this case is great. Comes with good quality fans so don't need to buy extra. Dust filters for all intakes. Supports all the long graphics card on the market.

-One of the easiest motherboard to overclock. don't even have to understand or know how to overclock at all. Built in OC Genie II tool for easy overclock. you click your mouse couple times and WHAM! overclocked (very safe and fool proof). This motherboard supports ATI Crossfire and Nvidia SLI. Later on you can just buy another HD 6790 and improve your gaming experience
