When it comes to picking a PC case, one has to pay attention to a variety of things, including spaciousness, build quality, and of course, the looks. Before picking a PC case, you must ensure that your PC components are compatible with the case of your choice. This means ensuring the case supports your motherboard size and graphics card. Even though many PC cases are marketed as gaming cases, you should never assume that your gaming motherboard will fit right within a "gaming" PC case. Once you have sorted out all the compatibility issues, you can now go ahead to pick the case of your choice. To make things easier, we have put together a list of best PC cases for a gaming PC build.
