Hey, I'm looking for a new case to fit a Micro ATX mobo, and a Asus Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card and I've come up with two cases but can't decide between the two so I was hoping you guys could give your opinion on the matter and try to help making this choice easier.

 

The cases I chose:

Cooler Master N200

Corsair Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition

 

Thanks in advance.

The Corsair has better cable management so I'd grab that.

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

Yeah I was thinking that aswell it just seemed a bit big for a Micro ATX motherboard although it supports it.

Maybe an 88R is what you're looking for? http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-88r-microatx-mid-tower-case

Seems good but could it fit the Asus Radeon R9 390 8GB? It's about 12 inches in length & 5-6 inches in height (Measured it myself didn't get off website)

It should be fine. Corsair says it fits up to 383mm and your card is a fair bit less than that.

My PSU is 5mm to big for the case (According to the specs of it on the website), case supports up to 160 and PSU is 165mm

The cooler master n200 can fit it, but I'm just worried about the GPU fitting.

That might be a problem. Look at video reviews to see if this problem can be addressed by moving things around or if you really are stuck with 160MM units or less.

Only way to fit it would be to move the bay which I'd need. Do you think I'd have any problems using the Cooler Master N200? (The PSU cords are my only issue as they're quite bulky)

 

I might just get the 100R, I mean theres no window on the silent edition anyways. What do you think?

 

I'm honestly torn between the two, I have no idea which one to get.

I'd just get the 100R to be safe, the N200 is quite small and you'd likely get more drive space on the 100R.
