Case recommendations?

[Skilty]

Hey,

Have a Corsair Carbide 540, nice case, quiet and hides the PSU and ugly wiring. Only downside is that it takes up a lot of desk real estate.

Currently looking for a new case, budget is up to £200ish. Current kit is listed in my sig.

I will be looking to move to a 6700K next year (or the latest Intel CPU) and a 1070 or Vega depending on performance. Considering WC (probably hard line) next year as well. But needs to take a Corsair H105 AIO.

Needs to be quiet with a window and if possible hide the PSU...

I know not asking much is it

This is my shortlist so far:

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass Mid Tower Case - Gun Metal
be quiet! Silent Base 800 Midi Tower Case - Silver Window
be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Full Tower Gaming Case - Silver

Cheers

Skilty

I swapped my 540 out for a Define S for the same reasons

No PSU shroud, much quieter case though

Just seen the Inwin 509, might have to add that to the list as well...

My vote would be for the "Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass Mid Tower Case - Gun Metal" as I have now to replace my old Corsair 650D.

+1 for the Phanteks, potentially worth looking at the NZXT cases as you can cram a surprising amount in them... I've got a 6700k build in a 450 Noctis Mid and 2 x 1080s, its pretty tight but i've got 2 360mm slim rads in there to cool it all. They're also much cheaper so you can spend more on the new CPU

Looks like it will be the Phantek

Evolv ATX Glass is the best choice. DB Pro 900 is also excellent, but slightly outside your budget (only by £10 admittedly)

Can vouch for the Phanteks choice, I have the case.

DB Pro 900 is very tempting as well. A lot more room to work in and the case has endless possibilities.

I think I can stretch to the extra £10 if it were the better case.

Just go with what you think looks best, at the end of the day most things are about aesthetics unless you have it hidden away.

I recently changed from the same Corsair case (nothing wrong with it, just fancied a change) but I went a phanteks enthoo luxe - I know it's not on your list but it does have a PSU shroud (and built-in lighting!)

Will take a look although I do like the look of the Evolve

Anidees crystal looks nice and it's cheap for a tempered glass case
