Hi
I'm planning a PC and haven't decided the case for it yet. Around 250 euros top (something like Fractal Design Torrent, Meshify, H710i, Be Quiet! Silent Base 802 etc.). What's inside matters of course. 250 euro case without fans is expensive, but 250 euro case with 12 fans is almost a bargain. It doesn't have to handle heavily overclocked high-end CPUs and GPUs. No, the build is as follows:
CPU:5600X Ryzen
GPU: Possibly Rog Strix 3060 Ti 2.9 slots
Regular 3200 mhz DDR4 RAM
PSU: Seasonic PX 850 W
Some regular B550 or X570 motherboard I guess
No need for a lot of space for hard drives or anything like that.
I don't mind if the case is fairly big, I'm not planning on moving it around much. It can be a small case too, as long as the above mentioned stuff will fit in. But I guess bigger case has potentially better airflow?
CPU and GPU are relatively low wattage compared to many other options on the market right now. Of course I'd prefer it if the case could one day house an overclocked 5600X and maybe RTX 3090 or some such. In terms of looks, cleaner is better, nothing like Asus Rog Strix model cases or such. H710i would perhaps be my number 1 choise but I'm worried whether it is good enough keeping the temperatures at good level.
I mentioned some cases above and I have been considering some of them. H710i is for me the best looking.
Fractal Design's Define S2 and Define S7 are also alright. Also FD's Torrent, even though the looks are a bit bolder. Not sure about the 180mm fans though (not many options if need to be replaced). Meshify 2 is worth considering aswell, but I do dislike the front mesh.
MSI Sekira 500X actually pleases my eye too. It's a bit pricy but should come with all fans.
Be Quiet! Silent Base 802 isn't very pretty either, but again, it's a compromise between looks and performance.
RGB isn't a big thing to me, but it can always be added a little bit with some extra fans later on. I've watched and read a good many reviews on these different cases and that's also why I mentioned some of the mesh-design cases here.
