[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 631397, member: 59833"] I see two drives and one expansion card listed. NO WAY you need a monstrous full tower case. I recommend a nice Fractal Design R4 or [URL='https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352048&cm_re=fractal_r5-_-11-352-048-_-Product']R5[/URL] mid tower. They will easily support that ATX motherboard and many drives and cards with lots of room to spare - without weighing a ton or take up so much space. Note the i7 7700 comes with an OEM cooler in the box as seen [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfWiRrhqiv0']here[/URL]. Contrary to what some may have told you or what many may believe, both AMD and Intel provide OEM coolers that are more than adequate at providing sufficient cooling, even with mild to moderate overclocking - [U]in a properly cooled case[/U] and those Fractal Design cases provide outstanding cooling. OEM coolers today are not the quietest but are much quieter than OEM coolers of the past. But that does not matter in a quality case like those Fractal Designs, as their interiors are lined with excellent noise reduction materials. I have the [URL='https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352021&cm_re=fractal_r4-_-11-352-021-_-Product']R4 Window[/URL] and the only way I can tell if the fans are spinning is to look through the window or put my ear right up to the rear exhaust ports - and then it is by feeling the air blowing on my ear (that's a testimonial to how quiet the Fractal Design included fans are). So you can save yourself some money by dropping that aftermarket cooler and maybe put that extra money towards a Samsung 850 Pro instead of the EVO. The EVOs are nice (I have one as my secondary drive in this machine) but the Pros are nicer. I use a Pro as my boot/primary drive. Note the Pros also come with a can't be beat 10 year warranty. I also don't see an OS listed. Understand only full retail licenses can legally be transferred to a new computer. This means you cannot legally transfer an OEM/System Builders (the most common type) from an old computer to a new computer. It also means, for example, if you upgraded to W10 based on an older OEM W7 or W8.1 license, you cannot legally transfer the W10 license to the new computer - because the upgrade was based on the old OEM. If you do need to buy a new W10 license, the good news is you will be able to transfer it the next new computer, and the next and so on. [/QUOTE]
