Which case should I choose?

PandoranPhoenix · Nov 6, 2016

Hi guys,

I'm planning on getting a new PC for Christmas, and I don't want to spend more than £1,400 / $1760. I'm already really close to the end of my budget, as I've also included a monitor, keyboard+mouse. So what remains now is the type of case, and I cannot decide between these 2:

1) InWIN G7 CASE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4M54MD9239&cm_re=inwin_g7-_-11-108-435-_-Product

2) CORSAIR CARBIDE SERIES™ 200R COMPACT CASE http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139018&cm_re=CORSAIR_CARBIDE_SERIES%u2122_200R_COMPACT_CASE-_-11-139-018-_-Product

These are all lower-end/cheap cases but I want the one that's quite good in performance/cooling for my build.

The components I want to include are:
intel i5-6600k (not planning on oc yet)
Asus z170-e mobo
CoolerMaster Hyper 212x cooler
nvdia gtx 1060
corsair 650w rmx psu
250gb samsing 850 evo ssd
500gb WD hdd

Thank you very much!

What Motherboard are you going to use?

If your motherboard is mATX your're better off going with the Corsair Carbide Series 200R Compact Case.

Oops forgot to mention that.
I'll be using the ASUS Z170-E ATX Motherboard

I would probably still go for the Corsair one as the brand is well known for its cooling and designs. So personally i would go for the Corsair case.
