Which computer case should I buy?

First, decide which computer case size you are looking for. The best way to do this is to look at the motherboard’s form factor and then find cases that are compatible with that. Spend time looking at reviews given things like airflow, cable management support and even what kind of cooling you can add are all determined by what your case supports.

Small form factor PCs present some limitations on the components you can use in your PC and, given their size, introduce build challenges. ATX or mid-sized PCs are the most common builds and provide the most compatibility options. They are also among the easiest PCs to assemble. Finally, E-ATX cases provide far more options and power, but the size of the PC can be daunting and will take up a lot of space. This is often the most costly build option.
