A case I am looking for, with the following build but I cannot make my mind up because I do not have any experience, first build.

 

post-237831-0-74222600-1441824379_thumb.

 

The total price for this build without the case is a total of £1 100. A case budget would be max £150.

 

The following features are what I am really looking for:

LED lighting on I/O

USB 3.0 front panel (charging?)

Good design for looking at, so a good window on the side

1x 5.25" bay would be nice, but if not I will just stick the spare dvd drive I have inside and take it out when needed

 

Thanks guys, for a first build I really have no idea of the good cases, and I am afraid of picking one that will not help, but in the case of interest I was battling between the two:

NZXT Phantom 530 and NZXT H440

The NZXT Noctis would be a great option.

Fractal Define R5/Define S?

Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX?

 

All are great cases. Pick whichever you like the look of best, but bear in mind that only the Fractals have 5.25" drives.
