So I am in the process of building a new PC (buying parts over the next few weeks and already bought some) - build is the following:

So as you can see I don't have a case. In my current build I have an Inwin 303 with 6 green led fans. Looks very similar to this atm.

 

Image result for inwin 303 green

 

Basically I need a new case which will display my parts nicely. I don't know whether I should find a new case or I should buy a new Inwin 303 to maintain the look. Any suggestions on cases that have a large window panel? Don't really want to go over £150 for the case but I can do if you convince me it is worth it ;) 

 

Note:

The reason I am either getting a new case or getting a new version of the same case is because I am selling my current PC as a fully built pc to a friend.

Are you planning on watercooling again? It's hard to beat Lian Li O11 Dynamic when it comes to watercooling display cases that perform well.

I second the PC-O11D, even for air cooling it's pretty good, though the do have an Airflow version as well  (beware the restrictive dust filter on it though)

 

What CPU cooler are you using though? the PC-O11 series only support a 155mm tall air cooler, but can fit any AIO on the market.

Yeah it is very tempting to be honest, very nice looking case. And I am planning on just using the sock wraith prism cooler that comes with it. But if that isn't going to be good then I will look into maybe getting an AIO but I have never had watercooling before so would be a scary thing to do haha
