I also swapped out the 300 for a 500w power supply.

I was thinking of getting this case

I know shit about this stuff. Does anyone have any recommendations? Is it necessary? Will I have any problems getting my pc in this? Is this a decent case. I don't want to spend more than that, it's actually over what I want to spend. I was thinking of just buying a few fans and cutting out the front of my pc, putting two there, and putting one on the side. But I like the filter features and the underneath cooling of this one.


How do these fans compare to normal ones?

Edit: I think I decided to get fans for the front of mine and cut out or remove the lower section. I haven't taken this case apart in a while to see if there are mounts for fans up there or not.

So do you want to get completely new components or do you just want to move your existing build into a new case?

If you buy a midi-tower or even a tower case you shouldn't have any problems with the space if you intend to move your build.

I'm a fan of the NZXT cases as they look very awesome yet they are kinda expensive and the quality is lower than you'd expect if you pay that much (nothing really notable as long as it's closed though).

I'm thinking about buying this one:

That's the one I currently own:

https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/95-phantom-410-mid-tower-case.html

However, they're both around 120$

On second place of my personal favorites there's the Shinobi cases, they have a more simple look but are beautiful in their own way. Also they cost about half as much:


for about 60-80$

I don't have much experience with smaller cases though but they are usually even less expensive.

If you really like the one you linked though I'd suggest you stick with that one. it's usually best to get the one you personally like the most. It should be big enough for your build too.

Thank you so much!

I just noticed the fan you linked, that one's for a cpu. I wouldn't recommend putting that one anywhere else on a pc..
If you buy a new case there normally are 1-3 pretty good fans included, you can normally stock up with the ones you had on your old machine.

Normally 2-3 are enough to cool your build so I'd choose the ones making the least noise and avoid unnecessary coolers on your case and therefore unnecessary noise.

If you do want better cooling on your cpu though you could either buy some liquid cooling (I'd recommend at least a midi-tower for that) which should be around 70$ or a better fan than the stock ones (if you don't have one already) which are normally about 30-60$ depending on cooling power and noise.

When going for a cooler cpu id recommend a pre filled liquid cooling solution. Installs just like a normal cpu cooler but its way more effective and the fans actually cooling the liquid also cool your case So a new case isnt really necessary

Damn Alerion, wtf, those cases are so awesome.



I have this case. I bought it not a very long ago, for a decent price. And I have no more than 2 fans, which I feel are pretty enough though. I don't know wether I'd suggest this to you, but, because I've seen it like 100 times at all places were I live, so it must have some good reputation. But if you have some good budget, then I say go for Alerion's, it probably is the best suggestion.

I even like the size of the case, it's pretty good for it's performance, and not bulky.

Suggestion: From my experience, I'd say, buy a branded case, were everything is packed up and ready, because that would be more guranteed, since everything would be compatible to each other.

No.

No.

Well lol, this depends on the providers/sellers, and what do they give you. Almost all sellers I encountered are bastards, and want to cheat on me in a way or another, so I shut them up by getting a sealed full package.

Guys doesnt even matter he doesnt need a new case for better cooling wtf?!

Thank you to everyone for their suggestions. I will start by taking my side off and seeing if I can get some fans installed up front. If I make any progress on modding mine, I'll post picks, or which ever case I go with.

Also for fans: im pretty sure whatever person you ask that knows his (or her) shit will tell you that nocuta fans are the best

Appreciate it.

Agreed. No point in spending money in a better case or fans if you don't even need it.

Download speedfan and take a screenshot while on the desktop and right after a really intensive game.

Edit: screenshot of the temps in speedfan.

Well, when it comes down to cases its about airflow. If you want air to pass through the case then get a case that has holes or ventilation around the case. And add the fans to the necessary places to help blow the air through it.

So again, if you want fresh air going through your PC then get a case that's more open. Otherwise if you have a more closed case fans can do the job as long as it isn't warm air from the components within the case.

So I found this case and it was really tempting.

But I think I will just add one more fan and cut out the front of my pc. There is a mount for one but no fan there or vent. I got this:

Which is 60 bucks cheaper. I also will get filter to mount after I cut out the hole in the face. I looked into the nocuta, and yeah, they prob are the best, lol, for that price. Maybe I'll as for the case from Christmas from the wife...
