Project: Blue on Black

[Taskforce]

What Lian Li case would you suggest? You still haven't answered that question.

I'm not quite sure how buying the cheapest case option is going way overboard. What would you have spent different in my budget, other than going with a cheaper cpu and power supply? Here's the budget breakdown.

Alright Bolas i didn't know you're open for suggestions, here's my personal opinion. I'm not saying you went overboard with the case just on other items, in fact you kinda skimmed a little with case choice, like i said i just didn't like the Corsair Obsidian 800D, it's too big, feels clumsy, and the quality can be debated "steel mixed with plastic" and just can't get over it having 6 feet.

Here is an unboxing i just watched, Lian Li PC-A77F:

Other thoughts, you'd save and excess of 3k ditching two monitors and getting an i7, things you need not want! Extreme don't benefit you unless you do heavy benching and willing to run LN2, trust me next 6 months you'll see better Cpus for fraction the price.
And only if you have 3 pairs of eyes, you need 3x30" i can just imaging how much neck movement you'll be doing with those.

Let me know if you'd like to hear the rest of my parts recommendation including HID and desk, update with my own setup soon.
