Hi There,

I am trying to pick up a case for my gaming build which is as follows:

Fx6300 processor
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P Mobo
R9 270x
Gskill ripjaws 8 GB
WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Seasonic 620 W S2ii

My requirement for a case is as follows:
1.Great cable management(High priority)
2.2 or 3 in built fans(Medium priority)
3. Budget is 60 to 70$

I did a search on online and found the following cases:
1.Corsair Carbide Series 300R
2.Cooler Master HAF 912
3.NZXT Phantom 410

Please tell me which of the above case is good OR if there is any other model that matches the above build and budget

Thanks for your help!

I have the 300r, windowed model, and I can say it is a great case. The cable management is easy, simply installs (Quick swap HDD and Optical Bays) and plenty of expansion.

Thank you for the reply. Is it possible to install a liquid cooling system in 300R like the one in the link?

Do you use any such cooling?

I am not planning right now to buy any cooling system. But down the line, if there is any heating issue, i may wind up getting one and just wanted to make sure that 300R is future proof.

Trust me, you've chose a good water cooling system that has been recognized as one of the best water cooling kits. And yes, it is possible to install this liquid cooling system. However, I suggest you to afford for CM Hyper 212X or 212 EVO for your gaming rig. You don't need to spend 9k Rupees on water cooling for this configuration. Have some more money in your pocket for upgrading your graphics card and PSU.

Thank you for replying. Okay. I think 300R with a 212 EVO should do the job. Thanks.

I would recommend the EVO as well.
Also, you CAN fit the h100i, but you have to mount the fans externally, or use slimline fans. (I had to do the external method)
