Hello everyone!

So i am building my first PC and i can't figure out how to choose a case where everything would fit nicely.

Here are my specs just in case:
-Intel Core i7-8700k 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor
-Cooler Master MasterLiquid 240 66.7 CFM Liquid Cpu Cooler
-MSI-Z370 gaming plus atx lga1151 motherboard
-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 memory
-Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB SSD
-Western Digital black series 2TB HDD
-Cooler Master 650W power supply.
-MSI Geforce GTX 1070 8GB (Already bought and being used in my current computer. Not planning to upgrade yet because of budget.)

While I don't think you need a full tower this Phanteks is really nice for the price.

My Mid Tower recommendation would be the Phanteks Evolv.

Pretty much any ATX case with support for a 240mm cooler will fit your build, lots of options out there. I am not sure what your budget is for a case or what you would prefer. Something over the top and full of lights? Or something more understated?

I have been thinking about getting the Fractel Meshify C for my next build. Decent price, built well and well thought out, good airflow with the mesh front, plenty of room for most builds, and it doesn't look absolutely ridiculous.

Another thing to consider is do you want a mid or full tower. I always go full tower simply because I have fists of ham and its hard for me to get my big meat hooks into some mid towers. If you have normal hands then it comes down to what you like. As Dunlop said you can go for flash or reserved, or buy a plain case and mod it yourself.
