I am looking into a new case for building a full custom look. 

 

Computer specs:

 

i7 6700k

MSI Z170a M7

MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X

16gb G.Skill Trident Z 3000mhz ram

EVGA G2 750w PSU w/ custom cable-mod cables

250gb Samsung 850 evo SSD

2x 1tb in Raid 0

Internal SD Card reader (Optional, I can move it to my wifes case)

 

I am going to look at doing a full custom look for my CPU only. Probably going to give my hand a go at hard tubing with it in this build. Currently the case I am looking at is the Fractal Design Define S. What case do you think would work well with this?

 

Here is what my system looks like currently.

So since I seem to be having an issue with EKWB wanting to fulfill my order for a kit that would have fit nicely into my Vengeance C70 case, I am going to look into a new case for building a full custom look.

The deifine S should be a good choice though you will give up the sd reader. I'd take a look at the phanteks cases they have some great stuff
