Good case for gaming?

[pokoman99]

So I'm building a very high end gaming pc, and I'm stuck on finding a case. I want a case with built in fans and good airflow, but i don't know what's good/bad, or how much i should even spend. Money shouldn't be an issue within reason ($175 max).

Most cases that I would call top quality are around $100-$130. I will name some brands I would recommend: Fractal Design, NZXT, Phanteks, Corsair, Cooler Master, Silverstone. However there are many other choices as well those being a few noticeable brands.

I currently use the Fractal Design Define R5 and it is a very good case for airflow and quiet operation. I have also built in the NZXT H440, the Corsair Air, and many Cooler Master Cases and I can say they are all pretty solid, though that is to be expected at their price points.

My personal favorites are the Define R5 because it is just easy to build in and has great quality for the cost. The H440 is a very quiet case but it is a little bit harder to build in from personal experience. The Corsair Air 540 is an extremely easy case to build in but it has a unique cube like shape to it which gives it very good air flow, but an odd shape. An honorable mention that I haven't personally built in but will for sure be my next case is the Corsair 760T which is probably the best looking case out there in my opinion, it tells people that you have a gaming rig, yet has a professional looking elegance to it that attracts others too.

Hope I helped.
