New desktop.

[vanthus]

Thinking of ordering this in the next few days,I'm pretty much set on most things,but still swithering a bit on the choice of case and processor,an i5 would probably suffice,but kind of leaning towards an i7,even if it just makes the system a bit more future proof.
I really fancied the Coolermaster CM Storm Trooper but don't have the space in my units,does anyone have the case I selected,if so is it easy to access fans,filters etc for cleaning.
It will be used for gaming and a bit of music production,nothing professional,just recording from my guitar and I will be using an Audio Interface and monitor speakers.
The speakers I've ordered are for my 3 year old PCS desktop.
Budget not an issue really,but no sense in spending too much more than you need to for what's required,I would like to keep it around the £1300 mark,no other peripherals needed and I'm not keen on an SSD,I just can't see them being worth the money.
Any suggestions or comments on any of the other components or something I may have missed (apart from an SSD) will be much appreciated.

Looks good, no idea about the case though unfortunately. Wait til you have a blitz on that 780!

Id have a look on YouTube for reviews of the case.

Thanks for the replies
The reviews of the case look good,just wondering now if it's worth selecting the extra case fans.

I wouldn't. I would see how it handles your system but I doubt is needed. It would create more noise as well.

Noise won't be a problem really,my "computer" room is pretty much isolated and I always use headphones while gaming,plus the case includes a fan controller

With the 780 expelling its heat out of the rear of the card and not into the case the extra fan shouldn't be needed. My Silencio 650 keeps great temperatures without added fans.

Okay,I'll take you guys word for it and see how it goes without the extra fans
