Hello forum, 

 

I seriously need help picking a case, I watched the case market for about half a year now and as time passed more options occured. 

 

My Specs:

-m-ATX motherboard

-bequiet pure rock CPU cooler (155mm)

-Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 960 (30cm/11.8in)

-ATX PSU 

-2x SSD

 

My expectations from the case:

-around 80-110€~90-120$

-"newer" case with nice cooling, window, and maybe modularity

-good cable management 

-if possible trusted brands 

-no need for 5,25in drives 

 

optional: 

-sound dampening

 

 

I already had 4 cases in mind that fit my point:

-bequiet! Silent Base 600 

-NZXT S340

-Corsair 400C

-BitFenix Pandora ATX 

 

What I would like ti ask of you is pick one of the 4 cases and justify why it is a good case.

 

Thank you very much for your help:)

I would personally go with the NZXT case. I have personally owned two NZXT cases (currently have the Phantom 630 Windowed edition) and the quality of the cases is amazing. The case is made out of strong metal and has no parts that feel cheap or seem to be a money saving compromise. NZXT does a really good job of including cable management systems built right into the case. I find that on my case the fans are really quiet when set to the lowest speed setting, and are still not that loud on the highest. Also for cooling NZXT is good with making there cases have easy installation for their Kraken liquid cooling systems, so you won't have to worry about it not fitting if you ever decide to upgrade cooling. 

 

Overall NZXT has my vote. And a bonus is that the s340 comes in some nice color combinations.

Yeah your right, i got a G710+ Keyboard too and the orange will fit in nicely.. I think the SilentBase 600 is best for me.

But if a newer on will come out i gonna be salty :S
