So I need a new case...

[Multiplayer]

Hi folks,

 

First post on here, but I've been having some debate with myself about what kind of case I should get.

 

My current system:

Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Motherboard

AMD FX-8320 8-Core Processor - Overclocked to 4.6 Ghz

MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB DDR5 Gfx Card

2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX Blu 1600Mhz DDR3

Corsair H100i Dual 120MM Water Cooler

OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD (Very Old at this point, buying an MX100:D)

WD Blue 500GB HDD

Corsair CX 750 Watt Modular PSU

Cooler Master HAF 912 Case w/ CM Storm Enforcer Window Panel

 

 

My issues in my current build/case is that I'm unable to run a push/pull with the H100i and the M5A99FX Pro R2.0 due to the heatsink located on the North Bridge. It just gets in the way and I can't add a second fan. I MUST be able to run push/pull with the h100i and M5A99FX. 

My future thoughts for this case are that I'm not going to be upgrading my system in terms of processor/mb anytime soon, nor will I be going to custom/expandable watercooling in the time being, however, I may Crossfire in the future. I'd prefer something that can run a bunch of fans, as I live in a small room and heat dissipation is sometimes an issue. I do not need a disk drive. I'm thinking I'd like a window, and something that I can add lights to to brighten up (if you have any case/light combo ideas, let me know).

 

The current system is themed blue, with the mobo/ram blue, so I'm open to a black or white case, or any other ideas you may have.

 

Thanks!

edit: I've seen the h100 compatibility thread, however, I'd like to know people's personal opinions.

 

edit 2: What I've seen that I like: NZXT H440, how the PSU is separated.

Push pull doesn't increase performance, just use two good quality fans in push or pull.

I'm not asking to increase performance, I just want to be able to run push/pull.

Well what is your budget? Instantly what comes to mind is the Corsair 750d, 760t (I own one) and 780t. They all have exactly what you're looking for and look great. They just tend to be a bit expensive.

If it doesn't bring any benefits then why waste the money on a new case just to do it?

No more than $150 or so, pref. In theory, there isn't a budget, so.

 

However, I like the 760t.. like a lot. How is it?

Because I'm using an old HAF912 that is unable to use a push/pull, that someone gave me and has the honeycombs cut at the top, etc. So, I'm in the market for something that looks nicer than the 912 and suits what I'm looking for.

S340. h440 or enthoo pro

Corsair air 540 is pretty nice, I think you can, though I'm not completely sure if you can do push/pull in it.

AZZA GT1.. TJ07 redone, do it now I say.

It is really really really nice, the side panels are a bit wobbly but that is to the expected since they have such a huge window. And the top fan mounts don't have a dust filter which doesn't make any sense to me and the cover for it blocks airflow but it is just attached with magnets so no big deal. Other than that though it is super nice, it looks gorgeous, has a TON of room, comes with nice LED fans in the front. And the build quality is overall really good.
