Hello everyone, i am really struggling on choosing a pc case for my new build and was wondering if i could get some help. i have a few cases in mind(Phanteks P600s, Phanteks P500a DRGB, Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh) however i do not know whether i should go for one of these cases or whether i should go for something else. To help, I would like something which looks gd with rbg fans etc, has good airflow and isnt by Cooler Master. reasoning is that i hate their logo and do not want a case with their logo on it. Ik I might sound picky but in the past i have bought components which havent looked very gd at all and would not like to make the same mistakes again and I just want something gd which i wont regret buying. Thanks in advance

For airflow the fractal design meshify series is pretty good.I'm sure you could see RGB fans through the mesh but they are not really made for RGB.

Speaking of phanteks, I really like the look of the Enthoo Evolv series. No mesh front but it looks awesome.

I have the P500A looks very nice.

Also the fans are kinda loud but my Asus fan expert can run them at 0RPM or 600 RPM (under 10 DBA) when gaming!. This case has so good airflow that at gmaing you can run the fans at uder 10DBA. When you stress test make sure you run them at higher rpm. like 1000 or so. Anyway at idle my fans do nto spin at all. At gaming i can not hear them over my headphones. Also the rgb strip on the psu shroud is very nice. I also hav 360mm aio mounted on the top.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I am partial to the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh myself.

I have the performance model, so the only RGB I have is the X570 Tomahawk Wifi and the GTX 1070.

 I have 3 HDDs, But this is the drive cage moved all the way forward.

Here you can see how visible the fans are through the Mesh front.

Hopefully this shows you how much the cable routing looks on this side. And how much you can see through the side bottom panel.

I do like this case very much!

I did just purchase my son a Lian Li Lancool 215 to replace his MSI Skeria 500X, which has NO airflow in it!

His system overheats with the side window on it. :( I really like the look of that case, but it has NO function.

Previous Components Still Using: GPU: MSI GTX 1070 (bought Used); Storage: WD 3TB Green HDD,WD 1TB Black HDD, SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB
