well its the time of the year I feel like changing it up getting rid of my Phantom 410 and my trusty i5,

I know I'm getting a i5 4690k/broadwell
Not sure on motherboard yet considering the MPower..

Now I'm mostly stuck on a case either a Arc 2 Midi or a Define R4, I don't like anything else at the moment and Im really unsure which one to go with?

Any ideas?

I assume you mean the Arc Midi R2? I'm a strong supporter of it as I have the Arc Midi and Mini and I love them. I believe people buy the R4 because they mistakenly think they need foam to dampen sound, which isn't the case if you pick quality hardware.

MPower is a good choice if you plan to OC.

You need to get the MPOWER mate, it's a great motherboard. One of the best looking Z97 motherboards I know of with a unique coloring...

Get the R4 Buxtyy is just sour... He has no Weaboo's

I'd personally go with the R4 as I prefer the design of it to the Midi R2.

Side note:
What are you planning to do with the case? I need to buy a few parts in a few months time for a separate build. If you are selling the case, I might be up for purchasing it from you.

Not sure which motherboard yet, considering the MPower at the moment but I like the look of the Black edition gigabyte one, any opinions?
