Well, as a stupid noob who has never built a system before...i went out and bought my case before i got everything else...now i have a ****** case, and a ****** PSU, but instead i need a REALLY good case, because i am going to be running an FX-55 and X850XT PE...

At first i wanted a really sleak and cool case...but now i really dont care as long as its black...i guess i will need something that can regulate temperatures...but i was also considering water cooling, because it seems like a good investment that will last a long time...i just need some opinions as to what cases would be best, and what water cooling systems are good...i know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about this stuff, so a lot of detail would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance for all who help...
 
the case is not really important, it's all up to you. however, the quality of the PSU is very important, especially for your fx-55 cpu. since this is your first time building a computer, i would not recomend you going with watercooling, not to mention, it is expensive. after you familiarize yourself with your computer, then you can choose to watercool your setup.
 
I bought a kingwin kt424 and it is nice and black with a removeable motherboard tray. A similar pair of cases to check is the coolermaster preatora and the lain li pc61B (has bigger 120mm fans).

All are aluminum I believe and very nice layouts. The kinwin is like $85 at newegg and the other two are like $105, plus the cost of $15 of shipping.

Well, i have heard good things about water cooling, and that they are super quiet...not to mention that i can just reuse it for my next computer...
 
I would suggest an XP90 from thermalright and a Panaflo L1A 92mm. Get a 5.25" bay fan controller. This will make for quiet yet ability to overclock.
