  1. They have 3 fans. 2 at the front and one in the rear
  2. The case front fans are huge 200mm fans, not 120mm fans you find in most cases. The airflow is hard to beat. withut using very fast RPM fans.

Unless you dislike the 200mm size, then thats okay. It's not for everybody, but I personally love it. They allow you to move more air at a slower RPM meaning they tend to be more quiet than having multiple small fans spinning at a higher RPM (not always, but in most cases)

Dw is in white. Dx is the black version. Officially there is no such thing as the "PC-O11D" but it's okay to refer to it as that since the last letter in the product number only defines the color and has no other impact on the differences in the case.

I'd get Lian Li PC-O11DW and 650w with  tier 3 above . I personally would get RMx/WhisperM depending on the price on your location compare to thier competition.

Why?! Why would you want such totally overpriced shit?? That you can't even upgrade in the future...
Case is mostly taste so get a Case wich allows full lenth cards that has the screws for the card inside.

 

PSU: a good quality 550W is enough.

Though with that CPU you might want to look for a PSU with two CPU COnnectors and

Why for what reason?!

His system will be far from 750W, that's only for HEDT and SLI/CF with high end cards.

I know, but with these kind of specs, I don't think it's weird to keep the option free. or it goes with him on his next system.

are the fans rgb??

The Two Front fans are RGB, controllable by either a built in case controller or via motherboard software like Asus Aura. The rear one is a white painted fan.

  • The H500P Mesh has the best airflow
  • The Define R6 has the best Hardware support
  • The H500i has built in CAM software which has smart fan speeds and RGB

Personally I'd go for the H500P Mesh or Define R6

 

Case breakdown:

 

Coolermaster H500P Mesh

Pros:

  • Airflow is best in this case
  • Good watercooling support
  • Good RGB implementations
  • Improved Build quality and Airflow over the original H500P (Do not get the original H500P)

Cons:

  • Most expensive

Fractal Design Define R6

Pros:

  • Hardware support is best
  • Flexible Interior; If you dont need 11 HDD bays, you can modify it to show off your hardware or get better watercooling support.
  • Balance of airflow and silence
  • Multiple style options, including options with USB-C front I/O, colors and TG side panels

Cons

  • No RGB (for those who care about RGB)

NZXT H500i

Pros:

  • Simplistic design which most people find aesthetically pleasing
  • Multiple Color options
  • Built in CAM software; Fans will adjust themselves according to case temps, and Addressible RGB

Cons

  • Airflow is "decent" but not exceptional. Users putting 1080ti's and overclocked i7/R7's might find the case to be too hot
  • Watercooling support is limited
  • RGB is proprietary. Only NZXT products can be used with it. (The NZXT H500 does not come with the RGB or fan hub, to save cost
