With the large number of cases out there to choose from, I could really use some help picking a good quality case that isn't going to break the bank.  I've been looking at the Dune Pro on Indiegogo, but who knows if/when that will ship.  So I need something to get me by until then, or in case like so many crowd-funded project it doesn't get off the ground.

 

Priorities are build quality, lightweight if possible, ease of assembly, ease of cleaning, and compatibility with the parts I'm getting.  I'm looking for something sleek, clean lines, and only minimal front connectors.  

 

Not interested in wild RGB setups, watercooling, or ridiculous designs.

 

Relevant parts being put in:  Aorus Master mobo, Noctua NH-D15 cooler, 2x 3.5" HDDs, EVGA GTX 1060 FTW2.

 

I'm hoping that the crowd out there can help suggest some models I hadn't considered or simply overlooked in the sea of cases on the market.  And I thank you all in advance for any suggestions you can give me.

 

EDIT:  My first thought has been the NZXT H510.  Anyone had any experience with this one?

I don't have any experience with the H510 unfortunately. But I do have experience with the Phanteks P400 series. You can get it without RGB and with the front mesh panel. It's easy to build in, good quality for a reasonable price, and will fit your cooler with no issues.
