Which PC case for upgrade

[DopeHusky]

I'd like to upgrade my PC case and I can't really decide which PC case should I buy. I upgrade because my current PC case can't fit water cooling, ASUS GTX 1080, and don't have any SSD slots.

The two PC cases I'm looking at are:

• be quiet! Dark Base 700
• Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Tempered Glass

Any advice would really helpful.

I have the phanteks enthoo evolv atx tg and love it.  Do you already have water cooling components? Are you going to do AIO or custom loop?

 

That dark base 700 looks like an excellent case as well, I have thought about getting it for my "server"

 

This is a 360 x 60 mm radiator with push pull, it was a tight fit with the reservoir

The evolv sucks for air flow unless you mod it or buy a new top and front like https://modmymods.com/custom-services/phanteks-case-mods.html

But what those cost you can buy a better case.

I changed my case recently, though I was looking at a tier lower cases. In the end I got an Inwin 303. I was looking for something unique. It's not silent, it's not huge, not tiny, doesn't focus on airflow, but it's beautiful and unique. while remaining surprisingly flexible.
If you are interested in it:
It can fit a 30mm 360 rad in the top and bottom, both in push-pull, however you can't fit 6 fans on the top rad, only 5. The bottom rad completely blocks the lower pcie slots, but one card is fine.
I have an EK pumpres combo, which fits nicely on the rightmost fan of the bottom radiator (with a 120mm pump bracket).
There's no space for a 140mm fan at the back of the case, but you can put 3 in the top. There are no holes for them, but you can use twist ties, or drill new holes, because they fit.
2 SSD slots, 2 HDD slots.
Cable management can be difficult, especially if you have braided extensions and molex adapters. It shouldn't be too bad with just the 8pin eps, 24pin, 2* pcie 8pins and 2-3 sata cables.
Lighting really makes this case pop. I have a few RGB strips in mine.
You can look up the inwin 303 owners club on overclock.net, should you be interested in the potential of this case.
