I am lookng to upgrade my Corsair Carbide 200r to a full tower case which cost under £90

 

Reason for change: i am planning to add another GPU (r9 280x Sapphire vapour-x) and wanted better airflow

 

I am currently thinking about the NZXT Phantom 630

 

 

Questions:

 

1. Any other case ideas

 

2. Thoughts on the NZXT Phantom 630

 

3. Is full tower worth the extra money

 

Any help is greatly appreciated 

 

 

PS. i have found it here http://www.scan.co.uk/products/nzxt-phantom-630-white-high-performance-modular-ultra-tower-case-with-side-window-usb-30-w-o-psu but it says that it only comes with 1 200mm fan and 1 140m fan is tht true because i thought it came with 3 200mm fans

 

 

 

BTW i am in the uk

Corsair Carbide 300R is well within budget, has space for 2 140's at the top, 2 140's on the side panel, 2 140's at the front AND (if I recall correctly) a 140 on the rear, making for an INCREDIBLE amount of airflow you can have.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

sounds a bit silly but do they do a white version i am preferably looking for a white case unless this case is allot better (probably should of said that)

It's not a white case but this case is by far the best performing case on a budget. They have a windowed version but not white.

Full tower for under £90. The NZXT Phantom 630 should serve you good and ITS WHITE!
