So Christmas has arrived and i'll shortly be purchasing a new case to replaced my cheap tacky current one. I currently have a 5770 however I am looking for enough space to fit larger graphics cards in the future.

Budget: £150. I could push £200 if it was really worth it however I would rather not spend that much on a case.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!
 
The Coolermaster 690 II Lite or Advanced cases are quite nice value and well built.

If you want to spend more, look at: NZXT Phantom, Corsair 600T , Coolermaster HAF-X, Fractal Design Define R3 are worth looking at. Silverstone Raven 2 is £137.99 and its a different yet unique case.
 
I can happily recommend the corsair 700D, enough space for any gpu comfortably and the build quality is amazing, best purchase i have ever made for my pc!

im going to go for the 700/800d as well.

just got mine this week (2nd hand) and will be changing over my stuff monday but on first impressions it is a awesome case (ive got the 800d) and cant wait to get it up and running.

i was lucky enough to get a 800d for £111 so have a look out for one 2nd hand.
 
Corsair 700/800D are good water cooling cases and average air cooling cases.

If sharp looks are important to you then I'd be looking at Lian li's & Silverstones.

£70-£90

Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced Dominator
Coolermaster HAF 922
Fractal Design Define R3
Lancool Dragon-Lord PC-K62

--------------------------------------------------
£100-£140

NZXT Phantom Enthusiast
Lian-Li PC-P50B
Coolermaster HAF 932
Corsair Graphite 600T
Lian Li PC-8FIB
Silverstone RV02 Raven 2
Coolermaster HafX

---------------------------------------------------
£140-£200

Silverstone fortress ft01
Coolermaster ATCS 840 Classic
Lian Li PC-B10
Lian Li PC-A71FB
Lian Li PC-A70FB
Lian Li PC-B70B
Silverstone Fortress ft02

All good cases in my opinion, not based on owning them but I do read practically every case review going.

Any of the above are solid choices.

If water cooling these seem the ones to get and most of the big Lian Li's

Coolermaster ATCS 840 Classic
Corsair 700D/800D
Silverstone TJ07

The 700D has terrible air flow, so unless your watercooling dont use that case.

Edit: Why dont you tell us which cases you like and we can give our opinuions, this would be much easier.
