Looking for a new case

[GigabitXe]

Hi all,

 

I am on the hunt for a new case for my main rig. Right now I am using a cheap OEM case that has terrible airflow and is otherwise undesirable. This is my current build. I am trying to decide between getting a CoolerMaster Silencio 352 along with a Pure Rock Slim cooler (the 212 evo that I have is too tall for the Silencio 352) or getting the Silverstone Sugo SG11B and a Cryorig C7. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any other recommendations for a super small micro-atx case that can fit all of my parts, please let me know. 

 

Thanks.

For an i5-4430, you could probably get away with the stock cooler, but if you really crave quiet, the C7 isnt a bad choice at all. You could even look at Noctua's L9i for super quiet performance.

Thanks for your input! I was staring to think nobody was out there (not really, but you know what I mean). I think I am going to go with the C7 and the Silverstone case just because it is pretty dang tiny and has a nice clean look to it.

I had a Lan Cool Case (Lian Li brand). I bought a NZXT S340 that has been outstanding. I opened the case for the first time in several months. Not a spec of dust in the case. The only issue has been my GTX 970 runs hot in my opinion 70-72C under heavy load usually in games like BF1. It used to run high 60's to 70C in the other case with air cooling vs. the AIO liquid cooling in this current case. \

 

You can get the NZXT S340 on sale usually for $50. The other option is the tempered glass models. The Phanteks P400 is supposed to be really good if you have liquid cooling but not air cooling. Another good option is the Fractal Design cases. Have not heard a bad word about any of the Fractal cases.
