Hey guys I'm looking for a new case. My current one is a Corsair 650D and I would like something the same size or slightly smaller. At the moment I'm looking at the new Define R5 which is $150 is Australia but I was looking to get quite a few suggestions. I'm looking for a fairly simple and elegant case

Specs in case of sizing issues:
MoBo: Asus Z87 Deluxe
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 AIO (buying a new CPU cooler too not sure which yet)
PSU: Seasonic XP-1000
GPU: R9 290 Tri-X

Cheers

If you like the R5 then go for it. You'll have no problems with any of that stuff.

And thumbs up on the Seasonic PSU :)

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
