Hello, I'm new here and have a question about a PC build, here goes.

I'm building a new gaming PC and I'm having some trouble choosing a case for the build. I'm looking for a simple and sleek mid tower ATX case with a clear side panel on the left side, preferably with good ventilation. One case that has caught my eye is the Corsair Carbide Series Clear 400c Compact Mid-Tower Case but I'm not 100% sure it would work out so I was hoping I could find some help here. The specs I am hoping to include are an Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero, Asus ROG AMD RX 480 GPU (This is just the card I currently own, I might be upgrading later on), Corsair Hydro Series H80i V2 Liquid CPU cooler, and then a HDD and SSD. Of course I would be including other parts these are just the ones I am worried about in terms of fitting the case, the case is also titled "Compact" so that worries me. It would be great if anyone knows if this build could work with the case or if you know of any other cases that fit the description.

Thanks for you help.

If you're looking for a mid sized tower with a large side panel, you should be fine with a the Carbide 400c you were talking about. The only reason that compact is in the name is marketing, as people looking for Mid Sized towers are usually looking to have enough space for a regular ATX mobo & GFX card, but save space in their room/PC space. If you're still worried about space though, I'd recommend Corsair's Graphite 760t, its a full sized tower, but it still has a Full Acrylic side panel, almost exactly like the Carbide 400c case. here's the best space comparison I could throw together from image results. http://imgur.com/a/J98Hn
