Which case to choose?

[yaya1]

Hello!

Currently I'm rocking an i5 6500 and a micro atx mainboard, but I am going to upgrade in ~six months to something like a Ryzen 5 1600 and maybe few months later install a custom loop.

Since I'll switch the platform anyways, my mobo has to go. So in terms of case choice everything is possible, but it shouldn't be too expensive since saving money always is a good thing when saving with pocket money...

Can anyone recommend a case?

Budget? What size do you want? Any color preferences?

I'd go for something black-ish. Since my mobo will be changed anyways, I'd be comfortable with any form factor but mini itx.

Look at Fractal Design. I have the R4 Black Pearl with Window. Its a nice case, and was easy on the wallet. The R5 is the current one of the series I think. Has a few refinement

Yeah, already kinda had this in mind, but I was curious if someone had a "better" idea... Thanks
