Undecided on PC Case

sh_aks

I'm building a PC with the parts as follows:

I wanted to go with nzxt h500 because of its looks mainly. But I have doubts that will it fit, and the thermals. What are other alternatives. There's one Meshify C and h500 from CM. Are there better cases for my build under $100?

PS: Don't blame me for the rm 1000x, in my country its price is less than 750x(i wanted to go with that).

The meshify C, easily. It has lots of airflow and you have only 1 HDD, so the low HDD space in the meshify C won't matter for you.

 

 

Also, your build looks great, but for the love of god, 1000w is overkill for even a 9900k and dual 2080Ti build. A RM650w is more than enough

I forgot to add about the PSU, edited the post.

Does Meshify C have more space than nzxt h500. I'm concerned about the trio 2080 and the x62 aio.

There isn't enough space in the meshify C, I personally think changing the card or spending more on a case is the best idea. The nzxt h500 has choked airflow because of the front panel and that won't go too well having an AIO mounted on the front.

True. Any mid tower which you suggest?

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG. It's functionally a 3-4" longer Meshify C.
