So I currently have the 540 air I really like the case but it’s too big want something a little smaller for more room and to show my build off. I am currently considering the 570x or 500D SE for my pc but am also open to suggestions 

my build 

i7 8700k 

corsair H115i 

Asus ROG Strix RTX 2080 Ti

Asus ROG maximus X Code 

Corsair RM750 

also planning on getting either ML or LL fans for aesthetics

@SHADY16 check out builds.gg and search the cases you're considering to help get an idea of what you think you would like best. :)

My main concern is fitting my H115i in those cases I have considered the H150 if needed though and I would love to vertical mount my gpu but my concerns are size as my card is fairly long

570X is a nifty case.

That and the @CableMod Vertical GPU Mount if you don't have any other PCI-e stuff will look good.

You card is 12" and mine is 11.73". I'll see how much clearance I have when I get home. 

I don't think the H115i will fit, but the h150 is fine. That's what I use.

im leaning heavily to the 570x, but im also trying to decide between ML RGB pro fans or the LL fans, i know the LL fans look great but how well will they perform on a radiator?
