Need Help Choosing a Case

Raijin

I've been planning for my first gaming rig for a long time and now that I have all the parts ready I'm struggling to pick a case.

I have 3 options: NXZT Phantom 820, Cougar Panzer Max, Corsair 760t arctic white(if I choose to go for a black/white theme).

If you have any suggestions hit me with them to see if they are available to me.

My items will be something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZKJn6X

If I go Black/White theme I'll replace the motherboard with X99 XPower Gaming Titanium and the GPU with the MSI GTX 1080 Seahawk X

Corsair has that nice side panel to show off, The Phantom is nice too and can hold tons of fans, (I may be biased since I have a Phantom 410)

Anything but the phantom. Trust me, i've owned one, my god they are the worst case you will ever buy.. Terrible dustproofing, little to no features.

Wow, if it has issues with dust proofing then it's out of the list cause dust proof is important to me.

Main issue here is if I choose to go for Black/white or not, if I do this will 100% be my case(my only complaint about it is that it doesn't have a dust filter on the top :( )

You can buy pantyhose or filters at your local hardware store.
