Hi folks,
First post here...first PC build in 10 years!!
Up until Saturday morning I was using an MSI Gaming Laptop that ran a 970m and Intel i7 - i was due an upgrade and now that its died i have been looking at options.
My main use case will be for gaming - Historically I have ran a triple monitor (1080 per screen) setup and still have those screens mounted so would like to use them again for racing games such as iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione and for Flight Simulator. I know i will be pushing a substantial amount of pixels across all 3 screens so was looking at the following setup:
And thats where i have got too. Reading around, it seems i will need some sort of all in one water cooling solution for the CPU - and this will facilitate needing a case that can accomodate both air and water cooling. I was looking at the Fractal Torent but worried how that would work with an AIO CPU cooler.
Could anybody recommend a case and cooler for the CPU? My main considerations for case is it needs to support a minimum of 2 SSDs - mid tower i guess is okay. I am so lost, having spent a day seemingly going round in circles, watching Gamers Nexus andHardware Unboxed videos and reading around. Budget is around 2k, could probably stretch a little more.
Thanks in advance

I know i will be pushing a substantial amount of pixels across all 3 screens so was looking at the following setup:
- 7900XTX to save some cash over buying Nvdia given im not fussed about Ray Tracing.
- Ryzen 7 7800x3d
- Corsair Vengeance EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit
- 850w Corsair PSU - bought it 5 years ago and never used and been sat in loft
- MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk (i like the audio output options with options for my existing audio equipment over other boards at this price point - unless im missing something good)
