Hello,

 

I'm planning to buy a new case, but I don' know what case. It should not cost more than about a 100 euros, a bit cheaper is good

.

I want it to have one windowed sidepanel so you can see the CPU block and GPU fairly good. I would like red LED fans but its not a must since I'm planning to buy 2-3 aftermarket fans for more silence operation like the Corsair AF quiet edit fans.I want a black case only if you guys don't come up with some really badass looking case that is not black. It has to be a Midi Tower since my motherboard is ATX and i don't have space for a Full tower.

 

I would it to have a fair a bit of space for future upgrades like a second GPU or a longer one. Also spots for 2 HDD's and one SSD atleast(usally not that big of a problem).

The biggest problem is to have a good spot for my H80i Cooler that is taking up a lot of space. I want it mounted in the back or in the top of the case. Now I have it mounted in the back of my CM Storm Scout, there it almost hits the motherboard and also had to remove the top fan for it to fit. So I want much space for the H80i. And also good cable management for the best airflow.

 

I've looked at the NZXT Phantom 530 and thinks it look pretty good for my needs but I'm not convinced yet.

 

My system is:

A Pretty basic Gigabyte ATX motherboard

AMD FX-8350

MSI Geforce GTX 760

16 GB Ballistix Sport

Corsair H80i Liquid Cooling

500GB WD Blue HDD

550W Chiftec PSU

 

I'm planning on buying a SSD and upgrading the PSU too.

FX-8350 GTX760 16GB RAM 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD

Not the Corsair 450D

 

Get a windowed Fractal Design Define R4

also get a 1TB HDD, its like $5 more

Don't get some weird PSU, get a CX600M from Corsair

Get a H100i for like $5 more than the H80i. It will fit in the Define R4

(also in the phantom 530)

 

EDIT: I guess you already bought that stuff... but still get a different PSU and get a Define R4

Yeah I also really like it :D But..I'm still using a 5.25" CD driver..Soo i cant use that case beacuse it have no place for it. I have almost all my games on CD's so thats a problem with it. Otherwise I would go for it. I love the Black and Red one!
