Best PC Case?

[CrayZE]

So Ive been looking at PC cases the past few days, and these look like the best ones for me

Which one is the best?

The new NZXT S340 that comes on on 2/28

The Cooler Master Elite 431

The Corasir Carbide Series 300R

My motherboard has weird demensions, I believe it is an ATX board. Its the stock Dell XPS 8700 mobo, so i think it should fit.

I also need to fit in my GPU (GTX 970) so which case would be the best? I really like the NZXT S340.

if you really like NZXT S340 then just go for it :No Comments: all of your hardware will fit into it

You would be really happy with either of those, the s340 would have more up to date features and looks better to me overall. But the corsair 300r will be very easy to work in if you are a first time builder. The only complain I've seen for the cases like that from nzxt is that they are not very first time builder friendly, but if you can accept that you will love it overall. They both will fit just about any gpu on the market

Here is the thing. Get what you like the most. With cases its more about how it looks more than anything. Most of these cases should have cable management. But the case is all about how it looks to you. I went out and bought the Corsair 750 D because of its size and how it looks. I do recommend watching some unboxing videos and build videos to get a better field. I agree on the NZST S340. It looks really nice.

The only issue I have is to know what exactly the XPS 8700 dimensions are (mainly where the screws go). If they are custom then you are out of luck.

Your links do not work for me.
In general, buy the case that visually appeals to you. You will be with it for a long time.

If your motherboard has weird dimensions, could it possibly be a BTX format which will cause you issues.
Measure the mounting hole spacing's and compare it to those for M-ATX standards on this link:

GTX970 will not be a problem with any case, it is relatively short.

I also like the white NZXT 340

Note: that was the wrong mobo, sorry. Let me find the right one.

This is my mobo, Ive circled the screw holes in orange. Im sure I got all of them.

most xps boards from that time period will work in a atx case. You can even use and xps case for a new non dell atx motherboard
