Define/Meshify C TG

Should be able to mount an H100i at the top no problem! :) (from google images)

When Ryzen 2 launches, I'm going to do a big upgrade on my computer. Right now, I have a p400s. As much as I love the case, my graphics card temperatures are high and I want to top mount my radiator. I need recommendations for a new case to help fix these issues. Criteria:

 

*Decent airflow. Better than a p400s but doesn't need to be anything extreme

*Looks good, tempered glass would be great

*Support for ATX board/PSU and a large GPU (I have a strix card)

*Support for a top mounted AIO (I have an h100i)

*Good cable management. Some space behind the motherboard would be nice.

 

Extra features that would be nice include:
*Integrated RGB of some kind

*Dedicated SSD mounts

*Smaller footprint/less wasted space

 

I don't want to spend more than 150 dollars, but if the case comes with some of those extra features I'd be willing to pay up to 200. 

I've been looking at the h700i, but the price is steep. It hits most of the points on the list, but I don't know if I want to spend that much

I also have looked at the meshify C, but I have concerns about the radiator mixed with that graphics card, and I have no real way to test if it will work on the top with the motherboard/ram.

For reference, I built in a Meshify C with an H100i v2, AsRock Z370 Extreme4 and GSkill Ripjaws V. Ultimately, so long as your VRM heatsinks aren't much taller than the rear I/O shield, you should be fine with it. It's a little tight, but any case that small would be tight. Front mounting would not be possible because with the front fan and radiator mounted, there would only be around 11.3" left to spare, while the GPU is 11.73" long.

 

The Silverstone PM01-RGB is a little bigger depth-wise (around 7 inches), but it's an interesting looking case with RGB, high airflow, tempered glass, no GPU clearance issues, etc. It's $160 - $165, and it comes in black, matte black and white. Though I figure you're going for a more muted look considering you like the Meshify C and the H700i.
