Hi everyone, I am almost to the point of building my first PC ever !

I am wondering if I should keep the Corsair 500 R white case (I have it but I can return it didn't used it) or replace it with one of these:

Corsair Graphite 760T

Cooler Master HAF X

or any of your propositions !!

 

I must say that I like the looks, but I am all about the durability, the quality of the material, and the airflow capacity !

And also, my motherboard is an ASUS X99 A-II and my GPU an MSI Gefore GTX 1070.

 

Thankyou for your future advices  !!

 

Have a nice afternoon !

@EnemySp0tt3d @shadowbyte @007agentHP

 

Thankyou for your advices ! Really appreciated !

 

I looked the three of them :

 

The NZXT S340 is beautiful but I bought an optical drive (yes I did haha since my OS is a CD). (I can buy an external drive if needed though)

 

The Fractal S.. really interesting, but why not the fractal R5 ? Is the R5 not an upgrade from Fractal S ?

 

And finaly about the Cooler Master Maker 5, I could only find it around 270$ CAN including the taxes and shipping, wich is only 20$ over but still.. Does the Cooler Master 5 Pro wouldn't do almost the same job ?

the Fractal design r5 to me is a downgrade in terms of cooling because the drive bays are in the way of the fans. the S has the drive mounts behind the motherboard tray.
