Sold my last PC and have a new build coming next week.
Here's the new build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/J7dBZ8
Yes I know the RAM is a waste of money. I'm OK with that.

I was going to get the same case (Corsair Air 540) because I liked the airflow and cube-ish form factor, but I'm open to more mid-size recommendations.
It needs to have a window and hide cables relatively well. It doesn't NEED to be a cube, but I'd like that. Looking to spend $150 or less.

I was kinda checking out the Enthoo Evolv (Tempered Glass), but I dunno if I wanna spend that much.

Give me ideas!

Evolv TG or air 540 are the only ones that are worthwhile mentioning for separated PSUs

Also, why dont you buy a 980 ti?...

Had a 980 Ti G1 Gaming. Selling it @ $370. Got a 1070 Armor for $400. It'll be a bit better for VR and fits build colors better.

Edit: You're a petty dork.

In what way did I "flop"? Go ahead and lay this out for me. I was against getting a 1070 when they're $100 more (new) for relatively small performance boost overall (my 1070 is only ~3-5% better than the 980 Ti I had).
Buying one new for $470 after tax is retarded for the gains. Buying a used one for $400 after tax is still dumb, but I'm allowed to waste money how I want. I know that I'm gaining almost nothing except VR performance.
My opinion stays the same. A 980 Ti is cheaper and pretty much just as good. I just so happened to get a good deal on a 1070 and wanted a specific color scheme.

Edit: And yes. You are petty. Here is the definition for you:

(of behavior) characterized by an undue concern for trivial matters, especially in a small-minded or spiteful way.

This is trivial, and you are spiteful. Move on.

Move on he says. Way to buy the bottom of the barrel of the 1070s.

I answered your shitty post btw.

Or go get a job and buy a case labs case.

Exactly. You have nothing to say.

The highest binned 1070 is like... 2-3% better than what I got? Find me another black and white MSI one and I'll get it. Thanks.

You answered my post with a case I already owned and the other case I'm already considering. Thanks for just parroting my post without adding anything relevant.

"Get a job" oh shit shots fired. lmao

Are you like 17? You just sit on here all day offering nothing relevant and posting shitty comebacks. Sound like a kid on summer vacation.
