Help with finding a case

fate855

So I am doing an "overhaul" of my pc, im recycling my i5 6600k, storage, cooling, and ddr4. Im upgrading to the ROG maximus IX hero. I also managed to get my friend's pair of evga acx 3.0 1080s for free because he got the new ti models. I am now wondering what case to get as I wanted the S340 Elite but I am afraid that with two 1080s it will get more than toasty inside and will hamper the preformance of the cards. I would like to know whether this would become an issue and if so what altenative cases there are.

Requirements: I definitely want tempered glass, a full psu shroud, and no external bays. My color scheme is designed around rgb lighting so im looking for matte black with little to no colored accents. Aura sync would hopefully be great. My budget is in the 70-100 dollar.

What about the Inwin 303?

Realans case is definitely my favorite and seems to fit my criteria.

Or Silverstone PM01-RGB?

I personally like the H440.. and having plenty of space for airflow and a psu shroud is nice to have.

Meshify C is your best bet. Has the best airflow of  most TG cases on the market currently, plus you Fractal Design Build quality, easiest cable management on the planet and the most flexible internal layout known to man short of being able to flip the motherboard 180º
