Hi Guys,

I wanted to get some of your professional opinion on case suggestions. Here's my situation:

I am a second time system builder and is looking to upgrade my CPU, which means a whole system upgrade. I built my first system with a zalman z11 mid tower case and almost pulled my hair out when trying to work with it due to its small back space and the tower style CPU heatsink i was installing. I don't want it to happen again, so I am considering a full tower case this time.

I read some threads but they keep focusing on how the cases look, but i almost dont care about that at all. I want a case that's easy to work with and doesn't have sh*tty air flow issues. Btw i am going with air cpu cooling again (don't want to deal with leakage -_-)

Money isn't an issue but i don't want to spend too much on a component like this so I would like to keep it below $120.

Thanks in advance!

Both cases have plenty of room inside them with very easy to access case internals. My Skylake build sits in 760T black case and cable management was a breeze. (Full specs in my sig.)
