NZXT S340

NZXT S340 Elite for those cable management clips in the back, better PSU filter, 3 2.5" bays, and sexier side panel.

Sad you didn't throw in an SSD :( If you want to play at 1080p then an RX470 should work fine and that should allow you to add a 120GB SSD to your system.

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

Or just buy a reddit windows key and get a 240gb ssd...

 

On topic though, I would recommend the Define S in that market range 24/7 without reservation.  It's the coolest and quietest running midtower on the market today, and it's an amazing case to build in.

 

Plus dyipc  is a poopy brand.

Softwareswap doesn't exist on Reddit anymore.
