need help with a PC case selection

BuyoTheCat on 26/09/2020 - 20:24

Disclaimer: my skill level with computer parts is probably 4/10.

I need suggestions for pc cases. My first pick was the Lian-li PC-011 dynamic. Looks like a nice airy case that I can fit a lot of stuff. But it is $209, with no innards. Expensive.

The second choice Lancool II mesh. cheaper and comes with 3 fans. and I like the SSD cage at the bottom pane.

I have an ASUS TUF x570 mobo (thanks Amazon deal)
watiing on ram from amazon
have a m.2 1tb, and 4 x 2.5 ssd.

no cpu.
no gpu: would like a 3060 when it become affordable. meanwhile something around 400
no PSU (likely RM750x)

What are the suggestions for decent cases. I dont need bling as it will sit behind the monitor

    Lancool II mesh, td500 mesh, p400a, and probably metallicgear "completely" original case Neo Qube if you are still keen on the od11 design.

    If you want a cheap case that has great cooling performance then I'd recommend the Coolermaster NR600. It's nothing fancy but it's well designed with a fully open front panel that allows high airflow. It comes with two fans at stock which are decent and quiet enough to be used. I threw in one more fan and my temperatures are excellent. It supports 3x120mm fans in the front if you want maximum cooling. Design wise it's a normal sized ATX case with a PSU/HDD cage hidden below. Mostly the standard design you see nowadays. The side panel is tempered glass that slides on rather than having obtruding knobs. Fan filter on the top can be easily removed and cleaned, as can the front panel (no plastic mesh, just a metal filter). It's pretty light too. It does have a somewhat cheap feel with the thin steel so that's why it's cheap ($90-110).

    Will you need room for 3.5 inch drives?
