Need help finding a case!

so I have purchased all of my PC parts for my build, I went with the Meshify C case. First time mistake I didn’t check case measurements. With my AIO cooler I couldn’t fit my GPU. I am feeling really stressed out and freaking out. If anyone can please help me find a case where I can mount my AIO and all my other parts it would be greatly appreciated! If at all possible if it could be a white case and have a tempered glass panel that would be awesome! But at this point I’ll take anything!

Whichever one you prefer...

It's up to you what size and features and price you want.

Mind if I ask one more dumb question, on the specification for the h5001 it says the front will support up to 280mm radiator. But on the clearance part it says “front radiator: 60mm” what does that mean?

60mm thick.

Normal fans are 25mm so you can't put more than a 35mm rad.

And you can remove the bracket if you want to put something thicker.

Ok, so the dimensions for my AIO are Radiator:227mm x 120mm x 27mm

fans: 120mm x 25mm

 

so I should have an extra 8mm?

 Also my graphics card is 300 mm long, that shouldn’t be a problem right? Sorry for all the questions, but after building my first pc and having to take it all apart I want to make sure I got the right case!

Why get a new case? You can put the H100i at the top of the case

The Ram I have is too tall to mount too the top unfortunately. The clearance rate is 35 mm and my T-force sticks are 49mm.

The example post is using Corsair Vengeance PRO RAM which is about 50mm tall. Have you tried mounting it out of curiosity?

Really? Yeah when I tried mounting it. The fans were blocked by about the “E” on T-force if that makes sense. And I tried angling it to get it in, but it would be pushing down against the ram sticks.

You mean this E? That seems extremely low for the AIO to be resting. Are you using Push/pull?

No I’m sorry, the E on the edge of the card.

Oh, I see.

 

These RAM sticks look a bit "wider"than the Corsair stick; the edges of the heatsinks overhang the ram tabs quite a bit compared to most kits, which is where I assume the interference really comes from. That's a shame, I was hoping to fix the problem with the prats you have so you dont have to spend the money!

 

Phanteks is coming out with the Eclipse P400A sometime in August which will basically be a longer version of the Meshify C, meaning you can put the RAD in the front and still fit your GPU too! If you need a replacement white Meshify C today, Phanteks has their Enthoo Pro M SE as well.

Would you recommend the phanteks case over nzxt? And thanks for trying to help! It means a lot to a guy who doesn’t know much about computers it was pretty discouraging to have a case that doesn’t fit on your first build!

Yes, but  only for airflow purposes. Nothing against the NZXT H500; it's a fantastic case for the money (build quality, features, aesthetics), but it's a serious downgrade airflow wise from the Meshify C you have. Seeing as you have an RTX2080 and an R7 3700 which can both get pretty warm, I wouldnt feel comfortable recommending the NZXT H500.

Do you thing the Fractal R6 would work? I’m really a fan of the full tempered glass window!

Yes the R6 would work. They also have the Meshify S2 which is basically the Meshify C but longer. I didnt originally suggest it because I wasnt sure you wanted to pay over $100 for the case

[Fridge94]

Do you know what that white box looking thing is on the r6?

It's a cover for 6 HDD bays that are installed from the factory (up to 11 can be installed there) The R6 has the ability to remove a few screws and push it back to an "open layout"

 

Traditional

Open

Even in the Open configuration, the case can hold up to two (2) 3.5" HDD's which is usually enough for most people.
