Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a case around the £150 mark. This is the last part of my build and I just can't decide which one from the many choices.

I plan on water cooling both the CPU and graphics at a latter date so would require 2 240 rads at minimum I would say. Noise is also an issue and would like a fairly quiet machine (current would give a 747 a run for its money).

I would also like a window. There are no real space requirements and would prefer a black case to go with the rest of my equipment. The end theme will be black and orange.

I am mainly looking at the Corsair 650d or the NZXT Switch 810 but its not set in stone if there is a better option.

My build I am getting is this:


YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £323.99
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £184.99
1 x NZXT Switch 810 Big Tower Case - Black £149.99
1 x Corsair Professional Series AX750 High Performance 750W Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply (CMPSU-750AXUK) £129.98
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) £84.98
1 x Samsung 128GB SSD 830 Desktop Series SATA 6Gb/s KIT with Norton Ghost - (MZ-7PC128D/EU) £83.99
1 x Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit £59.99
1 x Corsair A50 High-Performance CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/AM3/LGA775/LGA1155/LGA1156/LGA1366) £25.99
1 x Sony Optiarc AD-5280S 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £14.99
1 x Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g) £8.99
Total : £1,198.57 (includes shipping : £14.75).



many thanks!
 
I had a 650D and the build quality and features are top notch. The solid feel and quality look make it a good choice. The 810 is full of great features and is again a great case. Especially if you ever watercooling the 810 is a dream. Only thing that puts me off it is the plastic look.
