PSU - Corsair CX750m
Board - msi Z97S SLI Krait Edition

CPU - i7 4790k Devil's Canyon (Cooler: Noctua NH-D15)
DRAM - 8Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 (2x 4Gb)
GPU - GTX 960 Strix oc
HD - Seagate 1Tb SSHD, WD Green 1Tb HDD (for now)

I'm looking for a budget case that will comfortably fit all these components with good air flow and cable management space behind the back panel. Suggestions?

So far on the list I've got the nzxt phantom, phanteks enthoo pro, and the NZXT Source 530. I really like the price tag on the source 530 so if anyone's got one i'd love to hear your opinion x)


Edit: Best* Holy fuck I just noticed that... I was quite tired

I have the Zalman Z11 neo and its one of the best cases I've ever seen. Its a sick looking mid-tower (its a big mid-tower though) with great airflow and cable management and it only costs about $70. Link here

I like the interior of the z11 but i find it very bulky tbh. I'm going for sleek and sophisticated :P

The s340 isn't compatible with my speculated system (Noctua cooler too tall) :( I want it though damn!

In that case, I like the phantom best out of the ones that you were looking at. Yeah, its a little more pricey but its a really nice looking case.

(I still prefer the z11 neo though, but it's your call  :D )

The case...it's shipping from Cali it looks like.. or BC, for some reason it's taking a full week to get here FUUUUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



I think pc companies should learn to ship the case before or at least at the same time as the components, so tempted to build a carboard case fml..
