Greetings brilliant case scholars.
I am currently on my second build. My last was 10 years ago. If I get the same quality of help here this time is I did last time, you'll be spared my neediness for another 10 years.
I am a cheap guy, but I want this fish to swim for a while and I really don't understand options on a case.
Buy with fans included? If not, what fans do you recommend?
I don't care how it looks or need any colorful additions. I'll take a My Little Pony™ bright pink case if the price is right and it moves air around and is easy to build in.
Cable management? I won't look at it, but I want it out of the way. I have a modular PSU.
So I am desperately seeking recommendations.
MOBO ATX MSI B450 Pro Carbon
CPU Not sure yet but Rizen 5 2600x and 3600 are the front runners. Opinions welcome.
RAM 2X8 gb of 3200 Corsair Vengeance
SSD 1tb Samsung EVO970
GPU Radeon RX570
PSU Corsair RM650x
Asus Optical CD/DVD drive (I have one I ordered to replace a failed one but never installed it. If I should just go external to get a better case then so be it, but I do want an optical drive and I have a free one so...)
My old case has seen better days, but it did its job.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Did I say I'm cheap?
Maybe a really cheap option and a slight splurge or two?
