Case dilemma

Gaz75 · 10 Jun 2019 at 21:32

Not built a pc in sometime and thought it was time to get back into it slowly. I have picked my parts and I am now stuck on a case. There seems to be a lot of good quality cases out there.

So the case needs are
Psu shroud
RGB that is compatible with msi mystic lighting
Good airflow/cooling
Tempered glass
Budget of £100

I have looked at a few like NZXT h500i, Thermaltake v200 and Phanteks p350x
The parts I have picked for the build are

Ryzen 5 2400g with wraith cooler but might opt for a AIO cpu cooler at some point
Msi b450 gaming pro carbon
Also looking at a 1060 6GB

Thanks in advanced

I'd go for Meshify C

Does that case come with rgb fans?

If you want RGB bling bling this is hard to win.

Though not sure if those fans are compatibe with motherboard control.

From separate fans this is the cheapest addressable RGB fan.

Have you considered the Antec DA601 case?

@Ace Modder any eta on Striker and Blaze GT?

Gaz75 · 13 Jun 2019 at 18:38

Thanks for the replies guys.

The Antec DA601 likes like a nice case.
Also thought about the cool master MasterBox.

It’s given me food for though.
