Please help me decide on a new pc case!

[Riverbug07]

Hi everyone!

I am looking to upgrade my pc case from the NZXT h440 to something a bit more modern.  I am open to sugestions but am kind of thinking the Corsair Obsidian 500d RBG SE or the Lian-li PC O11 Dynamic or the Phantex Evolv X.  I would love to hear you opinions.  Curently I am leaning towards the Evolv X because I like the idea of the dual pc mini itx mount.  Thanks!

Go for the Phanteks case, if you like it.

But consider upgrading the front to one of these:

Maybe have a look at the Corsair crystal 680X, it comes with ll 120 fans in the front and is a dual chamber design for that sweet cable menagement

I think I want to eliminate the pc o11 because it is to big and I also want to add the corsair crystal 680x.

I eventually am thinking about doing a custom loop, so do you think there is enough space for a pumpres in the 680x?

The front rad has to be pretty slim and I don't really see enough space for a pumpres in the main chamber, if you get a really small one and are fine with a bit of modding, I think you can get it in the second chamber

My current build has a gtx 1080 and an i7 6700k.  I want to upgrade my motherboard and cpu to something more modern and keep my gtx 1080 (for now). Eventually I want to completely replace all the old parts in my pc with new ones and rebuild it is currently as a seccond pc. I don't have the budget to replace it all at once but would like to do it in stages.  Eventually I may even concider a custom loop so the case has to be spacious and I like the idea of the evolv x having the dual pc option with mini itx up the top.  Thanks!
