MATX Case - NZXT H400 or Fractal Design Meshify C Mini

[Galion]

Hey all, I'm doing this build for a 16 year old girl I met, I don't really know what girls go for in tastes. 

I did ask her what se want she just replied "no big ass system please" so I went matx

I kinda like to impress her for her birthday so which is the better choice? 

NZXT H400 (black and white, black and red, white and red, white and blue) 

Fractal Design Meshify C Mini 

This is what I'm putting in :

Ryzen R7 2700 (reference cooler) 

MSI B450M Mortar Titanium 

G. skill Trident Z ddr4 3000mhz rgb 32gb (4sticks)

Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti 11gb Aorus

but both the h400 and meshify C mini are great choises. take a look at the focus g too.

 

and outside the question, I would look into the vengeance rgb pro white, would look really cool in this build.

The corsair Vengeance Pro ddr4 3000mhz comes in black in my area no white ones sadly, I didn't choose the focus because no psu shroud it doesn't cover up the cable mess

both those cases are great but not as small as you may think

take a look at

 

MasterBox Q300L

 

IN WIN 301

I have the Meshify C Mini and I have to say I love it. I have a 280 CLC on my CPU that fits in the front and it still fits my GTX 1080 Ti that is a standard length card (Extended cards do NOT fit with the CLC cooler in the front). Cable management is great in the back and if you want a good view, both the front, and the window looks good. Also, if you look at Gamers Nexus case reviews, this is one of the best cases out there for air flow/ case temps.

I don't know, the Meshify C mini is pretty small. Of course, my previous case was a Corsair 350D which is as big as a lot of full ATX cases......

i have a meshify c and the mini is only 40mm smaller in height everything else is the same

 

 

but i do have to say i f***ing love my case

I think the only space saved is the space to fit an mATX vs an ATX MB.

The Meshify Mini C will have better airflow for that CPU and GPU than the H400 will. However I found that many prefer the look of the H400, so if you end up going with that case, put some good quality fans in the front for intake.
