[ARMIGEDDAN]

Budget (including currency): 500 USD, cuz lord knows some cases are expensive

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: (General AAA, ESports)R6, RDR2, Insurgency, VTOL VR, Quaver, ARK.

Other details Currently have:

Intel Core i9 11900kf @3.5ghz

MSI z590 Tomahawk Wi-Fi

16gb Corsair Vengeance ddr4 @3200mhz

MSI GeForce RTX 3080 12gb

500gb Samsung 970 Evo Plus (as boot drive)

2x 2tb WD Black SN850 2tb (in Raid 0)

Corsair H115 Elite Capellix

2x corsair sp140 elite

3x corsair sp120 elite

Corsair RM750w PSU

Corsair 4000X

 

Looking for a case where I can top mount my aio. (can't with the 4000X, the case fans are too thick and it ends up interfering with the vrm heatsinks on the mobo)

Also wondering if there are any radiator recommendations for custom loops. (layouts, pumps, pipes, etc) I am aware its not cost effective, I want it to look nice.

Just get the lian li o11-d its a great case overall and i have it so i can speak from experience
(Its a big ass case)

You can also get the Xl which is even bigger

But watch out that youre not buying a  mini one

How about the Phanteks P600S? You can take off front and top panels (secured with magnets for easy removal and putting back together. Easy to work with, great airflow and big enough for your rads.

 

EDIT: Last pic got stretched ...I dunno why...

I migrated my 5900X / RTX3060ti build into a Fractal Pop XL Air recently at @IkeaGnome's suggestion and I couldn't be happier with it. Dropped temps by 15C over the Corsair 4000X it replaced. They come in Pop Silent, Pop Silent XL, Pop Air and Pop Air XL variants, I would recommend the Air variants and either should fit your GPU nicely. The Focus series are also a viable alternative.

 

The included fans are designed to work with the integral case RGB button. If you need extras, let me know, I have four brand-new ones from mine that I swapped out for my Corsair setup (Commander Core XT with six LL120s). Only thing I miss about the 4000X is dust filters.

 

Specs for both can be found here.
