picking a case

[toxin9]

so i decided to upgrade my system because my parents are going to america where prices are 30-40 percent cheaper. due to traveling limitations i'm buying the case in my country, where it's more expensive. basically my system will have the EVGA 1080 classified card- a very big card, an ATX motherboard and the h100i cpu cooler. meaning the new case needs to be a mid tower case, with enough room for an ATX motherboard, the big GPU and a place for a 240mm radiator for the cooler. i also want a big side window so i narrowed it down to these choices:
Antec P9 WINDOW ATX Mid Tower
Fractal Design Define S
Corsair Carbide Clear 400C Compact Mid-Tower
what do you think i should get? do you have any other suggestions in the same price range? thanks.
P.S: the build includes:
Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz LGA 1151 Boxed Processor
ASUS Z170-AR LGA 1151 ATX
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Classified 8GB GDDR5X
Corsair Air Series SP120
Corsair 750W 80+ Bronze CX750M modular
Corsair Vengeance Series 8GB 2 x 4GB DDR4-3000 C15 Memory Kit
if you have comments on the build itself it's also welcomed

Fractal Design Define S better out of those two. Although if you can get Phanteks Enthoo Pro then it would be a lot better.

 

[GraySilencer]

Fractal Design Define S.

 

[toxin9]

no phanteks in my country sadly. what are your thoughts about the cheapest one-the antec one?

 

[madmatt30]

Buy a better PSU , the cx750 is an awful unit.

 

[Krishan Mourya]

Can you tell from where you are buying?
And Get Seasonic M12II-750W PSU instead of CX-750 as madmatt30 said.
Also You can consider going for Gigabyte instead of EVGA GTX 1070 as Gigabyte runs more cooler.

i'm getting the 1080 .i know the classified version runs a little hot but that's how it is with all 1080's units except for the hybrid one and the classified one, although hotter performs a little better than the hybrid one.
your telling me to get this one? SeaSonic 750W Bronze Series Active PFC 12cm Fan Modular M12II-750
i'm from Israel. over here prices can be fairly high compared to the USA. for example the define s costs around 100$ in the US. over here it costs 135$

 

[madmatt30]

Just anything better than that corsair mate .
Anything seasonic is fine , anything by xfx is fine , evga b2,GS,g2,GQ models are all fine.
Corsair cx550m & cx650m are fine.

You only need a 550w PSU, 650w will give you loads of headroom, 750w is complete overkill.

 

[toxin9]

what if in a few years instead of buying the 1180 i'll add another 1080? shouldn't i save the option? plus the classified gpu is a bigger power hog

Yes get that one and sorry I meant Gigabyte G1 GTX 1080 (not 1070) .

 

[toxin9]

again, the classified one seem to be the best performer, even if it's hotter. am i wrong?

 

[toxin9]

Is the define s the clear choice or is the antec worth looking into?

 

[Krishan Mourya]

Define S is better than Antec.
Although you can have a look on the newly released Cooler Master Masterbox 5

what's the problem with the corsair one? also, which motherboard is better?
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH-Z170-S/ - ASUS z170 sabertooth s
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-AR/ - ASUS Z170-AR LGA

thanks ^^

Sabertooth is of course better, given that it costs more too.
And corsair Clear 400C is also awesome case, actually i just checked its review and seems better than Fractal, although you will have to place your radiator in front cause there isn't clearance for radiator at top. I would recommend putting no fans at top, as it will just cause Negative Airflow which is always bad for your PC.

hmm.. if the fans on top will be on pull there won't be any kind of negative pressure, am i wrong? there's clearance on the fractal case for a rad on top but not on the 400c? won't a radiator on the side interfere with my classified GPU? it's quite long

No radiator on front won't interfere with your GPU, as there's a lot of clearance, you can fit a 50 mm thick radiator too in the front without interfering with the GPU.
And yeah you can put fans as intake on top. Just put at least one Exhaust in rear mount.
And seriously I think Corsair is better option.
