Would appreciate some help with case recommendation

Emeth

Hi, I'm going to be doing my first ever Ryzen build, coming from an old 6700 non k.

I already got all the components:

MOBO: Gigabyte X570 AORUS MASTER

GPU: Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU Cooler: LIAN-LI Galahad AIO 360 Liquid Cooler White

PSU: be quiet! 850W DARK POWER PRO 11

RAM: No sure yet, probably some kit that has B-die C16 3600-3800

Fans: 6 Noctua SF-12A (can get more)

I spent days looking at different cases from corsair, Lian li and a few others and I just can't make up my mind

I can't for the life of me figure out what to put this in, I was thinking about some of the Lian-Li cases but most of them are either out of stock here or only support an SFX PSU.

I would like a case with an easily removable dust filter (magnetic pref), it's really dusty where I live so I have to clean the filter regularly.

I'm also going to be using the Lian-Li strimmer extensions (both psu and gpu) so if there's a case that makes these look nice that would be great.

Appreciate the help, thank you.

I use a fractal design define r6. There is also the define r7. I like them because you can do everything with them. They have a HDD cover if you want to use a lot of HDDs, you can also put it in the back for an open layout, you can simply remove the solid top panel for top exhaust, it has dust filters which are easy to remove, it has a fan hub and it is a pretty good compromise between airflow and noise dampening. Also it has an optical drive slot behind the front door in case you need it. I use it with 3 be quiet! Silent Wings 3 140 mm PWM and it is insanely quiet.
But it looks not that impressive and it doesn't have any RGB.

If you want RGB, I like the look and quality of the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass

 

If you want a lot of airflow: Phanteks Eclipse P400A or Meshify Series from fractal design.

I have the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic. 

Enough space to build your system in and good airflow.

Also nice looks imho.

 

Only thing to watch out for the the height of your GPU if you want to install a waterblock :P

No waterblock shouldn't give you any issues
