I have an i7-2600 and a GTX 1080.

My location is Canada and and my budget is $100-$200.

CPU Cooler and GPU Cooler? Also number of hard drives/SSD's. 

 

For the purposes of saving time I'm going to assume an air cooler at 160mm or under, or a 240mm RAD cpu cooler, and a roughly 275mm long GPU

Fractal Design Meshify C is roughly $100-120 CAD depending on your color and tint option

Enthoo Pro M TG is $135 CAD

Cooler master H500 is $130 CAD, H500P Mesh is $185 CAD

Cooler Master MasterCase Pro 5 is $175 CAD

Is looks a concern? Otherwise just take the front panel off. Free upgrade.

Looks aren't a concern, but I would like to keep the case closed.

After taking the front panel off, there should still be some structure holding the air filters and fans, so it's technically still closed (compared to taking the side panel off).

 

Otherwise you could use the Meshify C or Cooler Master H500 Mesh series, but it's a bad investment if you ask me.

Hi,

 

I'm currently using a Fractal Design R5. My priorities are cable management and airflow. Any recommendations?

 

Thanks

What are your system specs?

 

Location and budget?
