I have the Nine Hundred Two, its a great case though one of the HDD cages is hard to use due to video cards being extremely large nowadays. Also, you don't need an 850w power supply, that's insane. You'll most likely only need 650w unless you're running SLI/CrossFire. Link to comment

And modular is nice but corsair cables are so long I have great cable managment with my non modular Stock cooler does fine with newer architecture Id get the new sandybridge 902 is a great case. HAF 922 is bigger and still in a mid tower. I wouldnt go with a full tower unless you really have a lot of room and plan to have second GPU and many HDD Link to comment
