I am planning on getting a new case but I don't know if I should wait for some new cases to be added to the market or to buy one that is already available.

 

Any suggestions?

I do like the NZXT Phantom 530 a lot. Great case for the money if you can shell out 120$

The case its great to do cable management with. Theirs so many tie downs for zip ties. Although I'm not as good with cable management, I feel like it was very easy to manage.

this or the 630 or 520 depending on your needs. if you go cube case go "air 540"

if you are reading this you are wasting valuable time and should maybe rethink your life choices.

Oh lol sorry for not mentioning my motherboard size,  I have an ATX motherboard and live in Europe. I would like a case where you can add some LED-strips so a windowed case would do.

If you want LED strips to be added to your case, you can get the NZXT HUE LED Controller. I currently have it in my build. Its pretty nice being able to change the color at anytime.

See I wanted the 630 but didn't find myself to thing that it would be worth it since I can't take advantage of the XL-ATX motherboard size.

What about a more sleeker case? One with less extra's like the Fractal Design R4.

Fractal Design R4 is also a great choice for a case. Are you going to be doing any Liquid Cooling,AIO or Air Cooling? Some case wont have support for 280mm RAD

I just be using Air Cooling, maybe later I'll add a closed loop water cooler for my CPU.
