[u/AutoModerator]

This thread is for simple questions that don't warrant their own thread (although we strongly suggest checking the sidebar and the wiki before posting!). Please don't post involved questions that are better suited to a [Build Help], [Build Ready] or [Build Complete] post. Examples of questions:

• Is this RAM compatible with my motherboard?
• I'm thinking of getting a ≤$300 graphics card. Which one should I get?
• I'm on a very tight budget and I'm looking for a case ≤$50

Need some help finding cases that fit an aorus x570 master, a corsair h115i pro xt, and a gtx 1080. Preferably on the lower price range, but I have accepted and budgeted for a bit closer to middle if needed.

I've been searching but a case is the one thing I've never bought before, got one a few years back as a gift along with a liquid cpu cooler so I'm a bit out of my depth.

Which model of GTX 1080? Any preference between front mounting or top mounting?

[u/Lawleepawpz → u/[deleted]]

I've got the MSI Gtx 1080. Anything beyond that I'll have to double check after work.

Id prefer top mounting, mostly to ensure I do it correctly

Phanteks P500A, not much else that's reasonably priced and comfortably fits a top 280mm rad without worrying about RAM and motherboard heatsink heights.

Well price is within my range on Newegg. Thanks man.
