Got a free case - what next?

[shadowcaz]

Hi guys,

A friend of mine gave me his LD PC-V7 case as it was too big for his flat.

So the problem is i have no idea where to start. Can someone help spec out a pc that will do this case some justice. I have a budget of around £1500.

Thanks.

He gave you a £300 case? Does he need any more friends?

Back on topic, what you going to use it for? Gaming, work, bit of both etc?

haha - he works in the IT dept and upgrades his PC regularly. He is moving into his own place (was renting) so needs to downsize. I was happy to go over and take it off his hands

I would say Gaming + VR capable would be the requirements.

What i am a little unsure about is the number of slots for fans / radiator on this case. I have never had a water cooled system before but would not mind giving this a try for the first time.

Looks like it take a 280mm rad in the front and a 420mm rad in the roof. Doesn't look like it takes 120mm fans without changing the grills.
