Need help with finding case

Tech Wizard

Hello,

 

My father wants a new case for his upcoming birthday. I'm going to buy him one, and my budget is $100-120 max. 

The case MUST have:

  • Cable management support
  • CD/DVD drive support (seen as many cases come without any support to install DVD drive these days)
  • Must be window side panel (Anywhere from half side panel to full window side panel. Prefer plastic glass over tempered glass, as that is expensive.
  • Must have support for long GPU (He has ASUS Strix 1060, which is 32cm)
  • Midi tower or bigger case, as he uses ATX motherboard
  • At least 16 CM CPU fan height support (minimum). He uses CM: Hyper 212 EVO, which is 16cm in height.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions in mind? I've looked at some cases from Corsair, NZXT, BeQuiet, Fractal Design and Cooler Master, but can't find/decide on one, Thanks in advance for all your suggestions :) 

Main:  1650 v2   @ 4,6GHz   -   X79 Deluxe                -   GTX 1080 @ 2000MHz   -   24GB DDR3 @ 2400MHz / CL10

Side:   i7-4790K @ 4,5GHz   -   Maximus 7 Hero        -   GTX 1070 @ 2114MHz    -  16GB DDR3 @ 2666MHz / CL12

I'd go with the Fractal Design Define R4, hands down. You're gonna need to either remove or turn 90 degrees the top five 3.5" bays, but it can handle his GPU with no problem. Well built, well designed, and at a good price; I'd buy one if I could afford it.

I think that a windowed version of the Black Pearl Edition XXL R2 Fractal Design case that I have exists. Check it out. It meets your requirements.
