What case for corsair h115i

Solution
There are many options out there and it all depends on your personal preference.
I would suggest browsing a little, checking their specs on the manufacturer's website and reading reviews to find out about build quality, cable management etc.
A good option may be the Fractal Design Define S (or Define R6 maybe)
Is there any particular reason for you to want to top mount the radiator? I would suggest looking into front mounting it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNAMxZgvves (In which case I strongly recommend the p400s TG, but I may be biased

I have the H115i and I recommend you get the Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE it has space for a 240/280mm radiator with fans up top and is by Corsair too and ?I am sure Corsair test fits their components in their own cases and it is available with a set RGB Corsair Light Loop series fans in the box and a control box and Lighting Node Pro to connect all that to which can software control the 3 included RGB fans
(I have the Corsair Crystal 570x Mirrored Tempered Glass SE which has the same interior shape, design and specs as the 500D RGB SE but it is slightly taller and a little more open up top for 280mm radiators besides that and the most of the exterior the rest of the case is the exact same as my case and that case has a USB Type C port with two type A so this is just a personal recommendation as I like my case and the ONLY gripes I have is the fact that Corsair had to remove one Type A to fit a type C and that there is no reset button as well as I can't use my H115i in the top but that was fixed in the 500D RGB SE)

So Zahid
Will 500D RGB SE fit and be compatible with:
Top mounted Corsair H115i Pro 280mm rad
+CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB OR !! ~ 44 mm tall
Or
CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO ~51 mm tall
It's really important for my future build!
I need those answers please!
(Btw- I am currently debating between Corsair 570x, Fractal Design R6, and this).
I am also really concerned about the gap between the side panels and interior. Not only more noise but more dust floating and penetrating inside the case. Even when PC turned off. Isn't dust accumulation a big issue?
Additionally, I think will wait with tha future built for the end of the year of even 2019, maybe Corsair or Fractal will release a new case.
A better Crystal or White colored Obsidian 500D, or something with greater airflow. Is it worth waiting? They can't released any more cases this year yet.
Thanks

Sry for the late reply
The 500D RGB SE is the best Cortsair brand option if you want to mount a radiator in the top as it is slightly taller and it has one more USB port on the front (the 570x comes with either one USB and and one USB C or two USB A whereas the 500D RGB SE has two USB A and one USB C)

Thank you!
I have already made up my mind on the Corsair 500D RGB SE. I'm excited.
I'm waiting to see if prices drop (of all hardware) so I may again start buy this month, by the end of the year or next year.
I wish Corsair will release a WHITE Obsidian 500D RGB.
As for CPU cooler -Corsair just released their new:
280mm H115i Pro Platinum.
Comes with 2 140mm rgb fans and better rgb headers on the cpu block. Also the cpu block is shaped differently. This is going to be my pick.
Regarding the mounting position:
I'm going to mount it on TOP as EXHAUST. Pushing hot air out of the top (through the rad).
So I will have 3 120mm intake front fans, 1 120mm exhaust rear (which I will buy), 2 140mm exhaust.
By the way, will it be better to mount as Intake top? To have total of: 5 intakes, 1 outtake?
I know some people like to recommend front AIO- but I don't like dumping hotter air into my case and main hardware. Also mounting in the front might block some of the airflow.
