When it comes to the case, your choice is very important. While you may not have to spend too much, you need to make sure that it will hold the components you need for gaming. The size of the case also matters. If you are building a gaming computer, then a mid-tower case is the right choice. Mid-tower cases can accommodate up to two graphics cards. These cases are the most common and most affordable types. Micro ATX and small ATX cases are smaller versions of mid-tower cases.
Another important factor to consider when buying a gaming computer housing is the cooling system. Good cases have multiple fans, while cheaper cases only have one or two. They should be able to exhaust heat properly and keep your components cool. If you are looking to add liquid cooling, you will need a case that is capable of cooling your CPU and other components. Certain models of cases will not accommodate such components. You can avoid these cases by purchasing the right size.
Mid-tower cases are one of the most common choices for gamers. They offer adequate internal volume for a gaming PC, but are still small enough to fit in all the components you need. They can also house ATX or MATX motherboards. Some models even accommodate EATX motherboards. Mid-tower cases offer better portability and are ideal for gaming PCs. However, they may not fit all of your components. You should also check for tempered glass side panels, which are more aesthetically pleasing.
