So to start off very briefly I am going to be building a custom pc with the following as parts:

First here is the build:

CPU: Intel i7-7700k

GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 ti OC

CPU cooler: NZXT Kraken x52

Case: Corsair Crystal 460x RGB

HDD: Seagate Barracude 2tb

SSD: 1TB Samsung 850evo

Motherboard; Asus MAXIMUS IX FORMULA

PSU: Corsair HX750i 

RAM: Corsair 16GB DDR4 Vengeance 3200MHz

Extra case fans: 3xRGB SP120 Corsair + 2 AF120 Corsair 

 

Im hesitating between the case i've currently put up, the Corsair 570X, or the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass case. Are there any advantages or disadvantages between these 3 and what would you personally recommend?

Size isnt an issue, and larger could be even better for me.

I am mainly looking for something with at least a side panel that looks good, no real budget, but nothing unreasonable.

Maybe buy the Fractal Design Meshify C? It provides nice airflow, houses lots of different parts and IMO looks quite nice.

The Evolv has terrible airflow.

 

I'd personally get a Meshify C and a much cheaper motherboard but that's just me.

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

@STRMfrmXMN Is the phanteks enthoo pro m tempered glass case good or bad in your opinion?

Good in my opinion. I don't like the placement of the front USB ports but that's just my opinion.
