Case for the 1080ti and i7 8700k

[alidownload141]

Hi guys as the title says trying to find a case for the 1080ti and the i7 8700k. I wanted to go for the P400s but ive been told by lot sof people that its really bad airflow so everything will run 2 hot. Anyone has got any ideas what case would be good for these? I would like a case which looks the same as the p400s or the nzxt 500i (Anther case ive been told is not good for these components)

Thanks

I recently purchased a Corsair Obsidian 750D and I like it a lot. It will definitely fit you hardware and it has tons of cooling. It looks nice and it's built well.

Ah ye i've heard good things about it but the only thing is, I hate the way it looks and i dont think i can live with it I love the look of the nzxt 500i but i just need something like it, with better cooling

What about the NZXT H440?

Perhaps....but I've no experience with it.
I'm a big fan of big cases.
I figure....get as much cooling as you can and....make it easy to work on.

Would like the whole side to be sea-through, not just a little bit

top mount the rad as intake. swap out the LL fans .
the mobo is white. wont mix well with black components. so chose corsair's icue syncable fans and rams. u still have mobo lighting and way better rgb in evga 1080ti at a lower price. 2666 is enough for intel, only ryzen needs 3000+ rams.

I'd look at the Phanteks EVOLV ATX Tempered glass, it's a high quality case with good cooling.

Many cases, in fact almost all reviews done on cases where airflow is looked at, are only done using the stock, factory installed fans. With gaming pc cases, that's usually just 2x 120mm. Of course some cases come with 3x intakes, and forget to use an exhaust. So take airflow with a grain of salt, especially if you plan on changing the fans/amounts. The p400s doesn't really have bad airflow at all, once fan mounts are populated.

I own a FD define R5 Window. It's got a door in front of the intakes. Ppl say this is a detriment to airflow and cooling will be bad. As is, that's where my kraken x61 sits, the stock 2x fans as top exhaust. No rear exhaust. Cpu temps changed a whopping 0°C at idle and rise 1°C with the door closed. Fans sit at 450-650 rpm.

If you like the p400s or the 500i, then get it. Cases are personal, you gotta look at it and live with it we don't. But fans, curves, speeds, can be changed, which will change airflow. You don't need a gale inside the case, air just has to move in/out smoothly, not spin around. So the amount of air moved is of far less importance than how it moves.

Thanks for the reply, i think your right but i actually found the NZXT H700 really good and its not bad for the price so i might be looking into that now

Thanks for the help but unfortunally I've already god the gtx card , was on a good deal here so cant change that out although the info on the ram is great, did not know that intel chips dont need 3200 , thanks
