Well I'm thinking about this for a long time.

 

I need a new Case, a few Fans and a CPU Cooler, but I dont really know what I should get.

Currently I'm using a AeroCool Predator X1. Getting that case was one of the worts decisions i made in my pc building career.

Together with 5 Xilence 120mm fans and an AMD stock cooler it ran now for about 3 years until I switched the A8 for an i3 6100 in November.

 

An now i want to switch the Case, the Fans and the Cooler, wich is the Intel stock cooler.

 

For the case I thought about the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv with Tampered Glass or the normal Window. I also like the P400 wich is a lot cheaper.

For the CPU Cooler im currently looking at the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX.

For the Fans i thought about Noctua NF-P14S redux 1200 or the Noiseblockers PK2

 

What do you guys think? let me know

I was looking at the Zalman orb coolers when I was upgrading my case.

In the end I went for a ThermalRight AXP-200 Muscle though, I like how I can see the fan spinning from the window.

 

I'd go for the noctua fans, since I have a noise blocker e-loop fan in my ITX office PC and it's considerably louder than the stock antec two-cool that came with my case.

I like the look of the AXP-200 but its not really what im looking for maybe in the futute when the i3 finds its place in my multimedai pc in the livingroom

 

I also thought about the Hyper 212 Evo and switching the fan for a noctua or something but then i could buy a nh9s or nh9b

Yeah, not much sense buying such expensive fans for such a cheap cooler.
