Evening all
Being Christmas and having spent a lot on presents for others (namely the Mrs) I thought it time to get myself a little present to me from well.. Me
my current case is the Corsair Carbide 200r, bought at time of build due to low cost, which allowed me to pump the saved £'s into the GFX card... the time has come to get the slick looking case that I really wanted to get but haven't got round too....
Now after some browsing I've decided to look at a something with simple elegance, an example being the NZXT H440.
Budget is up to £150, would prefer a window (although this isn't a major factor), quieter the better and it would like have decent cooling potential. Watercooling is never going to happen so don't be overly concerned about this. **edit** Forgot to say DVD drive not overly important as I have Win10 on USB.
Current CPU cooler is this:

If the case means I might need to upgrade/change this to get better cooling/fit in the case then I would. GFX is the MSI 970 G4 Gaming which won't be changed.
Current temps max on CPU at 62/GPU 62-65 and that's on Skyrim with heavy mods so we cooled at the mo, this change is all aesthetic.
Cheers all and look forward to your suggestions
