[Case Help] Looking for the perfect Window Panel Case

[Angel_Ohiha]

Hello guys, I am now 80% done buying all the parts for my first build and 90% picking all the parts.

I need the perfect case and I've been researching every single part of my first build since January but the case choice keeps changing. 

Budget is $200

The cases I'm looking at right now are:

-NZXT Noctis 450

-InWin 805

-Corsair 400c

-Thermaltake f51

My current choice is the Noctis because of its outside beauty but I dont know if i really want to settle for a sliced window.

What I Need:

-Supports the EVGA P2 series and a PSU cover?

-ATX MOBO

-Enough space for the Asus Strix 980 ti and future SLI

-Extra features like USBS ports etc..

-Great Air Flow

-280m Radiator Support

-Great Cable Management

-Beautiful Window Panel

-Breathing Space ( I like the 400c but feel that everything will be 

compacted together tightly)

-Hue+ compatibility ( meaning it wouldn't be too hard or difficult to 
add LED lights smoothly and hidden)

-Aesthetically beautiful!

-Something unique that isn't overused -,- like some NZXT Cases

Thanks Guys!!

Phanteks Enthoo Pro? (idk if you think if it's overused)

it's huge, has a 200mm fan in the front and a 140mm in the back and it can fit a 3x140mm rad at the top

The evolv atx is like $180 but it's a really nice case

I like the Caselabs Mercury S8

Corsair 900D fits those requirements

FOURHUNDRED DOLLARS

How about the Corsair Air 540? The PSU & some of the hard drive bays are sectioned off from the motherboard, has plenty of room for SLI, good airflow and a big window.

The Phanteks Enthoo Luxe is also great, and it already has LEDs built into it (you can't control them with the Hue+ though)

Is the NZXT H440 overused? It's one of my favorites, but the acrylic in the window is fairly cheap. You can get a much nicer replacement for around $30.

Yea that's one I'm talking about lmfao , don't get me wrong it's nice and perfect too but too overly used. Wait whats this about getting a nicer replacement panel??

Didn't see your budget earlier, may be a little over
