I would like some case recommendations for my build. I currently have a Carbide Series 275R which I got for cheap but I am looking to upgrade.

I primary use this pc for gaming and light photo/video editing (making memes). I do not plan to overclock for the time being.

I currently have the wraith prism max cooler that came with the Ryzen cpu but I would like to upgrade to an AIO cooler for the summer. I was thinking of the Corsair H115i PRO or NZXT Kraken X62 Rev 2. So I'd like a case that is compatible with a 280mm radiator.

 

If possible I would like for the case to be white. I'm not a fan of black cases because of how easy it is to see dust. I like rgb but it isn't required. I'd like it to have one tempered glass panel or more.

I'd like the case to be no more than $150 but I'm flexible on going over by $10 or $20 depending on the case.

 

Thank you in advanced.
