these are the components for my first build, and I want to know which case would be perfect for my build : the Cooler master CM 690 iii, N600 or HAF 922.
please don't suggest me any other cases as I looked over many of the other cases and i find these the best options for me and it looks appealing to me.

HAF 922 - is pretty old and i don't really like how it looks, but it's still famous for its name.
N600 - is the smallest tower out of the three towers i've listed and i'm looking for a small mid-tower about the height of 17-20.
CM 690 iii - is a new, upgraded version of CM 690 ii advanced and i haven't heard much about this case, but it looks really nice and clean.

I want to know which one would be the overall best case for me. thanks alot!

If you can, definetely the 690. I have the 922 and once it's all in.. it's preety tight... Upgrading, replacing and stuff is hard with it. It's like from 2008 or 2009 and is also heavy and bulky. I love mine, but now is not the time to buy it. It doesn't even have USB 3.0 on the front, that today's normal 50$ cases have :)

The 690 is Ultra tower, so you might want to consider an XL-ATX motherboard, for future expandability also.

I rate it in the top 3 cases. ALWAYS. next to a Rosewill case and a Corsair case, but the 690 definetely looks the best! :)
