So I was really excited to see the CM h500p as since it had been shown at computex I knew I wanted that to be my next case as it would look great and had plenty of room for a custom loop. After seeing all the more negative reviews for it though I'm at a loss as to what case I want to go with instead or just use the h500p anyways. This will be my first custom loop as all I have worked with before are AIO's so something that is a little easier to work in would be great! I am looking to cool my CPU and VRM with a mono block as well as my 1080ti so I was thinking about having 1x 360/420 rad as well as 1x 240/280 rad. Just need some other people to bounce some ideas off of. Thank you in advance!

I'd go for a Corsair Crystal 460X or 570X for a custom loop

Define C series (TG, Meshify, Vanilla) are all nice compact challenging cases. Bigger cases are obviously generally easier to work in, so kind of depeds on what you want.

I love the look of the Meshify C it just doesn't look like it has a ton of room to work in which for my first attempt at a loop might be difficult, and the 570x is perfect in size and looks but my lord that's a lot of tempered glass. However I feel like I am leaning towards the 570x just purely because of it's size and looks as it even has a place for easy pump/res mounting at the end of the psu shroud.
