I built my first desktop in 2011. Throughout the years, I have upgraded the GPU and some storage. However, my motherboard died so I decided this was the time to build anew. I do gaming and consume media. My productivity work consists of mostly databases and web programming. So I decided that I didn't need the i7. This is what I ordered on 8/19.

Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Salvage from 1st build)

I snapped up the Define R5 Blackout Edition for a good price ($80 USD after rebate). But I'm having second thoughts. Going into the process, I wanted a case that provided a good balance of cooling and acoustics. Keep it or what other case options? I was also considering the 400Q but that would require changing the CPU Cooler as well for clearance issues. (The box is unopened so no restocking fee and I get free returns).
