[SOLVED] Gaming PC Case recomendations

[berlin88]

Now that the new Nvidia Cards and AMD CPU's are out, I am looking at upgrading my current system or building a new one altogether

I currently have a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass case. Is this still a decent case, or are there better options on the market right now?

I still use an old Blu ray optical drive, but I can probably replace that with an external one if needed. The only real requirement for a new PC cae, is that is must support 3x HDD and at least 1 SSD. My budget might be roughly $150 or less for a case, maybe $200 max if its a very good quality one. I have some Corsair LL RGB fans in my current case, so I might as well use those in the new case as well.

I love the Corsair Obsidian 1000D, but don't like the $500 price tag. The Corsair Obsidian 500 is also interesting, but only supports 2x HDD when I need one that supports 3.

The Phanteks Eclipse P600S seems like a decent case and the Fractal Meshify C seems to get decent reviews as well. Are these good cases? Are there better options?

I am looking at putting together a system based on the AMD Ryzen 5800X, ASUS B550-F ROG Strix Gaming (WiFi) AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard and either the new EVGA RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800.

The case is a personal choice. I will say that you have one of the best cases around. I'd keep using it unless it falls short somewhere for your needs.

So the Phanteks Eclipse P600S, Corsair Obsidian 100D or Fractal Meshify C would offer no meaningful differences or benefits over my current Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case?

If that is the case, then perhaps I should just stick with my current case.

Mesh front cases get better airflow but unless you're having temperature issues with the CPU or GPU using the Enthoo case I don't see any reason to change it. You can always change the case if you like a different model more than the Phanteks.

I bought the The Phanteks Eclipse P600S and I am very happy with it, excellent airflow and a dream to build in so much room. Not sure what your current one is like but the mesh front cases for me are a must. The silent thing is a bit of a gimmick though as so many gaps in the exhust psu end of the PC. but the top hatch is good to block out the dust and doesn't effect cooling even with fans added to it without hatch.
