As the title suggests, I'm looking for a gaming case either a full or mid case, needs to be mostly black or all black but red features are appreciated. This is my build to compliment the case: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/YywKpb
So the case also needs to compliment the parts :) If possible I hope the case to be relatively quiet as my last case Corsair 600t was quite loud, either that or it was my gpu. Anyways Give me suggestions guys! :)

well you can't really see them anyway?

but sure.
BeQuiet Silent Wings 2/3 (wouldn't use them as front intake though but are fine as exhaust)
Phanteks PH F140 SP / HP / MP come in black as well
if it's gotta be cheaper, Cougar CFD D14HB black or AeroCool Dead Silence Black Edition

I misclicked as isokolon's answer wasn't the solution yet.. damn slow computers at work.. haha
oh well, anyways im interested in the nzxt phantoms so far so i guess you're half right!
Anyways when it comes to cases, the difference between mid and full cases is the size and features I get that but how about airflow?
It's important to have a good and cool airflow in the pc. With mid towers arent all components kind of clumped together so there is less space for hot air to travel through. who knows, touching gpu and everything in the process so heating those up to, or is this just an idea and in reality that's not true?

honestly there's no definition as to what a midi and what a full tower really is, there is no exact line, it's a spectrum
but with good cable management and the latest pascal/skylake build it's generally not that much of an issue
any case that cost 75€+ generally has a good enough airflow to keep the system cool and running as long as you use cable management and don't just cump all the wires infront of your coolers

all of these cases support the Cryorig R1 which is a very big cooler
they all support ATX boards - so the GPU isn't any closer to RAM, CPU Chipset in a midi tower than in a full tower
so there should be enough space for decent cooling

I mean, there are people going for ITX gaming builds - an ITX or µATX case could be a bit clumped, but when buying a midi tower case that isn't cheaper than your RAM there is generally no issue with airflow

Full Tower cases do have more expansion slots in general for storage, they can take more or bigger fans
when running some FX-9590 + R9 295X2with a combined TDP of 750W, yes then that is to be taken into consideration
but when going for an i7+GTX1080 it shouldn't be a problem

I cannot chose anymore between al cases, I'm looking at a good design, good airflow is important, and quality. Ive been going back and forth on nzxt phantom 530, 630 and 820 but I just dont know anymore. Can someone give me their opinions on this perhaps an owner of one of these cases? Also maybe someone has other case suggestions?
Im looking mainly for a really good performing case.. in the sense that it has good air flow, good cooling capabilities, and low noise. I am even willing to buy seperate fans for the case to increase airflow and or reduce noise. Any suggestions?

Ok I've decided on Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case. While this case is very quiet.. I would like to know the optimal airflow options like what fans should I use because I'm guessing I'm going to need to buy case fans to get better air flow and silence which I'm willing to do.
Any suggestions?

take a look at the Thermaltake F31 suppressor, it's basically the R5, looks exactly the same but has a few tweaks and can house a 200mm front intake

overall, the R5 is a great case and the stock fans aren't too bad, they're 140mm and are relatively quiet (of course you can do better with better fans but there's little need for that)
you might want to add one more fan if you feel you need more fresh air (I suggest bottom intake)
good quiet fans would be:
Noctua NF-A14 flx / pwm; Phanteks PH F140 SP / XP; Be Quiet Silent Wings 2 / 2 PWM

if you decide to go with the F31, mount the front fan at the bottom and get a Phanteks PH F200SP for the front intake
