Hi guys!

So, I got this 7870, And it is hot! It is an XFX DD. I was not expecting it to go even close to 80c when i fired up a game. But, I suppose I didn't look that much into cooling.

So, my question to you clever people is this: What is the best pc case which supports all of the thigs like watercooling, usb 3, a decent amount of cable management, able to fit multiple gpu setups for the future, and in a price range of £60-£100

I have already looked at a few and they all seem to start getting decent above the 100 quid mark, which is out of the question for me. I know this maybe too much to ask for below £100, But can you help?

Thanks in advance,
A PC Noob ;)

P.s. Pc Specs are:
-XFX DD 7870 -STOCK-
-AMD FX 4100 -STOCK-
-COOLERMASTER 650 WATT
-GIGABYTE GA-78LMT SP2 -I think xD

And the case is a Vantage Type-R Gaming pc case.

The Corsair 500R is about $100 USD, meaning somewhere around 90 quid in the UK. It's a great case, has support for a ton of fans (as it has a 200mm fan slot on the side door), and has support for a medium-size custom water-cooling loop, as well as something like a Swiftech H220/Corsair H100i, or like the Corsair H60. :)

Looks like quite a nice case ;) I am just looking around at all of the possible cases I could get. I found the Aerocool X-Predator X3 which seems to be quite a nice case from what I can tell. I like the size of it as it is a full tower I believe? correct me if I am wrong. But now I am steering towards the Corsair xD

You guys are as notorious as people say. You all reply really quickly!

Thanks ;)

To be completely honest, a full-tower for a build like yours is overkill. Full-towers are generally only for multi-GPU water-cooled setups. The cooling in the 500R will be great, as will the cable management, and it can easily fit three GPUs (although whether your motherboard can, I don't know). It also has two USB 3.0 front-panel connectors for quick and easy connection. If need be, as I said, it will support a moderate custom loop, and will definitely support something like a Swiftech H220. :)
Thank you for the quick reply as well! :)

Right guys thanks for the suggestions. I am probably going to wait it out though and wait until I can afford a decent case for a load of water cooling capabilities ;) I would choose a best answer but I don't know which one to select :/
