I have been looking for a case for my first gaming PC build and found these two, please tell me which one is better, more durable, has better cable management, easier to build in, better features, and over all the better one out of the two, thanks guys.

Cooler Master: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233

I looked at the newegg reviews and the cooler master case had better ratings, I watched a few YouTube reviews on both cases also, I think the cooler master case looks nicer, but I would rather get the more durable and easier to work with case, so whichever one you guys think is best, please let me know :)
 
It's completely up to you.

You would find more information on the website of each case though and not through a third party.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is the ATX sizing and your hardware.

So if you buy an ATX size motherboard, then make sure your case supports whichever ATX size that is.

CM do make good cases. I personally prefer the HAF X, as it's a full tower. Meaning one of the biggest case types.

But while that provides lots of options, perhaps they don't align with your needs. Perhaps you require a case which is

quiet and more space saving and then you're already going away from full tower sizing, down to Medium or smaller.

So it's really up to you.
 


I did make sure that the motherboard I chose is the same size as the case, and I plan on keeping my case on my desk, so the mid atx tower would be a good size for me, I will check both their websites, but the reason why I like newegg reviews is because they are by people who owned the case or other item and they are all honest opinions, both cases had good reviews, I think I might go with the cooler master one unless someone else thinks otherwise. thank you for the reply!
 
Here are the cooler master fan options,

Front: 120 mm fan x 2, 1200 RPM, 17 dBA (one is optional,can be swapped for one 200mm fan)
Top: 120 mm fan x 2 or 200mm fan x 1(optional)
Rear: 120 mm fan x 1, 1200 RPM, 17 dBA
Side:120/140 mm fan x 1 (optional)

It comes with two fans, one at the front and one rear fan, if I were to fill the rest of the spots with 120mm fans, would that be smart or should I just put fans in some spots, if I am not saying it clear enough, because it does sound a bit weird, it is hard to explain, I could try to explain it better if someone could help me out, I am new to buying extra fans.
