Need some advice

[Confused Gamer]

I have been offered a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS case Thermaltake Kandalf LCS for £50 ($80) but the water block in it is for a socket 775 and I run a socket 1150 Haswell chip, Also the case does appear to be missing some parts namely the usb and firewire connectors on the roof of the case next to the fan housing, I have checked around and found nothing on any shop sites or auction sites that even remotely resembles this case, and some people have reported that TT is a bad brand,

My question then is this, With me being offered this case and it having some components missing and having a LGA775 water block and me running an LGA1150, would it financially wise to get this case and then have to purchase the missing parts and get a new block for my cpu, or would it be wiser to stick with my Corsair H80i and just a bigger case without the extra liquid cooling ?

Thanks in advance for reading and helping me out.

Hi

money would be best spent on a modern/up to date case with better cable management [parts may also be an issue] it was ok in it's day but that day has gone.

I am still using that case and it still works pretty great for the Rig in my Specs. I did replace the block with a AC Cuplex Kryos. Keeps my 4.6 OC well under 50 under Prime95. The only downside of it is the total lack of proper cable management oh and it weighs an absolute ton.

Thanks for the advice Law it is appreciated, I'm glad I asked before I laid down the cash for it, I shall be looking around for a newer case.

The cable management is something I'm interested in as I like a tidy setup and helps keep the case clear for better airflow, I have tried lifting it out of it's box, it's definitely on the heavy side, Thank you for your response Instg8r
