Budget (including currency): I dont have a budget, it is something I am working on over the next 2 months, maybe 3. Id hazard a good £250-300 over the 3 months.

Country: England

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GTA, Valorant, Blender, general gaming and video editing.

Other details: 

 

CPU - Ryzen 7 3700x with stock cooler (the wraith one)

GFX - RTX 2060 Super ASUS

Mobo - ASUS Tuf gaming x570 PLUS

RAM - 16GB DDR4 3600mhz 

Case - PHANTEKS Eclipse P300A ATX Mid-Tower PC Case (so i believe), particularly old, would also like to upgrade, maybe NZXT.

 

 

Hey guys, so here is my plan.

I would like to get 2 more RAM sticks - 16 -> 32gb.

Upgrade from stock cooler - I was thinking a radiator - they look really cool.

I would also like to upgrade my case. 

 

What I am looking for is some advice on a cool, black OR white NZXT, or other, case. One that would fit  my motherboard and components, along with a radiator.

 

Im not looking for critisism on my components, or what I should upgrade - but if you do have any ideas, let me know :D

 

I am most active on Discord. True#9129 is my tag..

For the case p400a is a great upgrade, dont go nzxt unless you are gonna get an airflow one, and yes the nxzt h510 sucks balls cause of the airflow, asthetics dont matter if your freaking components are overheating thus reducing performance.

 

For an air cooler a scythe fuma 2 is a great choice for 60$ and if available, se 224 xt is also a good choice at 30$~

 

If you really want watercooling whether its actually about performance or just asthetics, maybe something like the arctic liquid freezer 360 is a good choice for around 100$, and its cheap cause no rgb so maybe choose a different aio if you are solely getting one for looks, look into a 240mm with rgb or something thats 80$

 

And for the ram just get something that has the same speed and timings, you could go to the manufacturers site and check what type of ram chips are on your sticks but ddr4 can be mixed just fine so dont worry about that

So i guess nzxt is just all about asthetics then, which i guess hotter case temps are fine for everyone that focuses on asthetics but ill stay far far away from anything that only focuses on asthetics, cause for me, its balls to the walls performance with asthetics being an afterthought, and if there were a cheap office pc case with great airflow then id take that for sure
