Right now I have NZXT S340 case, but when I put my new GTX 1070 in water loop with 240mm slim rad, it just doesn't perform well.

In games my CPU is at 80°C and GPU at 45°C. GPU is fine, but CPU got like 30°C temp increase because of GPU in that loop.

 

So I'm looking for new case. Must fit 360mm + 240mm rad. 240mm slim rad + 360 thich rad from EKWB.

Side panel must be plexi or glass, so I can see my hardware :P 

 

Budget: 150€

 

I know it's not much money, but I'm just looking for suggestions :)

Define S or R5

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

Define S or Define Nano S are both good cases. Corsair 400D as well

Yeah Define S seems to be best solution :)

So much stuff for watercooling.

And I guess 360mm + 240mm rad will be enough to have i7 4790 and GTX 1070 under 60°C at all times :)

Unless you already have the 4790 get a 6700 or a 6800

I already have i7 4790, and recently also bought Z97 krait motherboard.

So I will stick with it. Should be more than enough for casual gaming for next 4 years at least :)
