This year built systems in ASUS GT301(great portable case), ASUS GT501(good airflow), Corsair 4000D(good airflow), DeepCool CH560(good airflow). I used these for cases for builds this year due to price point, build quality and ease of installing parts. I am planning on buying a ASUS GT601 for my personal build. The ASUS GT501 is my favorite case, easy to build in. The Corsair 4000D is a close second.

Am looking at EATX cases, I have a large power supply and 7900XTX fits in my current case but oh well, will find a proper case (preferably not a fish tank). Some great sales on cases currently, but it's a lot of research for the higher end/main rig. I've built over time in Antec NX410, Musetex case (does fit the 7900XTX Merc) reused for current, and Sama Z5 for some rebuilds. Am expecting a couple Sama MATX case for a rebuild, I think that will be nice. It's hard to decide on the more premium cases. I might ask the PSU manufacturer if I keep the same components, really just want the components to all fit.

I have my heart set on a Lian Li LanCool 216 for a while now. Having great airflow with the 140 front fans and being not too loud has me sold at $99. I was planning to go budget but I thought that I want to keep the case for a lot longer. The Montech Air 903 Max doesn’t look too bad at $80 also.

Sorry if this got addressed and I missed it, but I think an important caveat on the "don't get cases that don't come with fans" guidance is that, if you intend to customize all your fans or use already-owned fans, it's more efficient to shop for fanless cases. In general, those in the market for high end builds will likely be dissuaded by included fans

Sir what case is best for ASRock Nova motherboard, and suprim liquid X 4090 GPU? Thanks in advance.

I've got that Montech Sky2 in white. Lovely case for 99$ Absolutely happy with it. With the RGB button on the top panel you never have to see the colors unless you choose to. Great airflow with the 4 fans and bottom, back, and top mesh panels.

The Lancool 216 really is a good case. Has decent features and it's pretty easy to build in. Only other thing I needed to buy for cooling was an AIO and my system was basically ready to go once got everything in. It's a good case with a good price.

Been using the Corsair 5000D airflow. And have to say it's my favorite case. Good airflow and looks, and good temps for the GPU.and it's easy to make cable management super good. And the dark glass panel is a good touch. And with 420mm for GPUs not worried about GPU sizes. Just a great case!

I went with the 4000D Airflow, but I think I will upgrade to the 5000 in the future. That cable space is too good.

I've built in a number of cases including lancool ii mesh, focus 2 and now the AP201 mesh. The ap201 mesh is my personal favorite case with all mesh design, a fair bit smaller than my lancool and temperatures are about the same despite having less intake fan support. Having support for up to 360mm rad up top is nice as well and the internal lighting has a nice look through the perforations.

Hi Jason, thanks for your boost my build series, learned a lot from there. In fact, the case is my largest issue right now, as I'm upgrading my all-round PC that still has an optical drive (still having a few discs, though also an external drive from the notebook) and tons of 3.5" drives (though I'm thinking about getting an NAS). Looking at the Fractal Design Define 7 or the be quiet! PureBase 600 (would prefer silent options). Don't care about glass or RGB! I'll see what your video says 😅

I'd probably recommend the H7 Flow over the H6 Flow. Direct air flow from the front fans over the GPU and out the back or up through the top instead of having the fans pointed at the side of the case. Building in it is much more straightforward as well.

Just a personal recommendation: the Fractal North. It was my first time ever building a PC, and I'm not a fan of the RGB aesthetic. It was my first time every building a PC, but this case was a breeze to build in. Good airflow (and comes with two 140mm front fans), lots of places for 2.5in SSD's, three spaces for 3.5in hard drives if you need them, it supports radiators (front and top), and it's just honestly a really good quality case. However it is definitely a higher-end case, and I did indeed have to sacrifice a bit of CPU and GPU performance to make it fit my budget.

Spot on. Great job again. Not everyone should be jumping on the Lian li 011 Evo. I'm using one in my current rig but using the optional mesh front panel and top USB. If doing it again I would have went with the Deepcool CH560 Digital. The thing I have noticed about Lian Li is the guility is not the same as there older cases. 10 years ago they were built to last and that is the reason when they do show up on the market they command a premium. Great job again with lots if info for the new builders. Keep it up!!

The Montech Air 903 Max is an absolute beast! It scored extremely high in cooling performance in Techpowerup's case ranking. I would say it's definetely the best case of 2023!

Not only is the airflow good, but the material quality is very nice, lots of room to build in, and very good front panel I/O. Aesthetically it's a little boring but it really makes me wonder how they can make this case so cheap. I really do like all of Montech's offerings right now.

First off: great video. I'm building a replacement for my soon-to-be eight year old computer and your in-depth videos have been of great help, along with the Tech Deals channel. Hilariously, I was just minutes away from ordering when this video popped up in my feed. The only thing I'm missing in this video are the silent cases. I know they are a bit niche, but I have a mild sensory processing disorder coupled with almost perfect hearing, so fan noise and coil whine needs to be suppressed by all means necessary. I picked the "be quiet! Silent Base 802" for the three included 140 mm fans and the front panel fan control button. Pricier than the "Fractal Design Pop Silent", but I didn't like the front panel layout of the latter.

Very happy with my Q300L. Removed all mesh grilled, added feet riser on the case to make sit higher, 5 intake + 1 exhaust and they run at 20% highest I ever push them on linear fan control is 50% and it's more than enough. For budget build, top!

TY! Built my son his first PC and went with the Montech case. $40 at Microcenter!

One category that I'd love to see you tackle are cases without fans or with terrible fans (but otherwise great designs). As someone who's purchased Noctua fans, the quality of the included fans on a case don't really make a difference since I'll swap them out, so a focus more on the airflow qualities and design elements of the case itself would be very helpful rather than a focus on the included fans. Also did you see the Gamer Nexus benchmarks for case airflow? Seems like you might be underrating the 216 a bit. Also very suprised you made no mention of the Fractal Torrent anywhere. It's a pain to build in the smaller one (apparently, for me it was no issue), but honestly the performance is amazing.

Thanks for this guide, Jason. Have you any more details on the G360A modification you had to do? I’ve just bought one and would love to know what to do before I install the mobo… Cheers!!

That Terra case looks neat. Gives me ideas if I wanted to go for a desk piece 😍

I've had the Lian Li Lancool 216 for about a year now, and it's been a great case. I would highly recommend it. 👌

I have been using the fractal meshify 2 argb for over a year. thermals are great with the 3 140 mm fans on the front and the 120 exhaust on the rear, and you can mount a 360 aio on the ceiling where i have my liquid freezer placed. amazing all-around.

Recently built in the DeepCool CC360 and it’s a good budget case so long as you don’t mind the look of the front with that bar. Only complaint is that the PCIe covers are break-out, so once you take them out, there’s no putting them back in.

I don't know what kind of prices you can find for it, but I highly recommend the Lian Li x Dan A4 H2O for someone just getting into ITX building. You can buy it with an included riser cable, and it supports up to a 240mm AiO cooler in the top of the case. The whole thing is covered in very solid, perforated metal panels that allow for great airflow, and it supports a lot of large graphics cards (including Founders Edition 4080s and 4090s for high end builds). I built my system in it because the size and construction were exactly what I need to be able to put my PC in a backpack and take it with me for work trips, along with a portable monitor and my 60% keyboard.

I don't like to admit it but your point about internal DVD drives is very true and it hurts a little...

I got the mo tech sky two earlier this year and paid $115 US on amazon and I love the case. Cable management was lovely on it and it looks so good when lit up. Good to see it drop $20.

Great choices. My personal favorites are Fractal Pop Air and Corsair 4000D.

@PCBuilderChannel

I also like the 4000D Airflow, my issue with it is the price and only including 2 lower quality black fans. I did enjoy building in the 5000X for our Ryzen 7000 launch video.

Still got the legacy Corsair Graphite 760T White. Lovin' it ever since I built with it and bought the last "new" one in 2022!

This week I transferred over from a CoolerMaster MB530P to a ThermalTake Tower 500 and NEVER looking back. The Tower is a gigantic 3-sided fish tank with TONS of modularity (and it was on sale 😉)

Thanks for the great video. I bought a Fractal Torrent (large version) recently and am very pleased with it.

I was looking into either the Pure Base 500FX or the Lian Li Lancool 216 myself and chose the Lancool especially because of the front Panel which can be placed on the bottom left which is awesome since i put the PC on my desk . For a first time builder like myself, the case was absolutely beautiful to build in, enough space for my 4080, 2 additional p12 fans at the bottom for intake and a 360 Liquid freezer 2 at the top. Also plenty of space for Cable management. A very very good Case overall!

Hey Jason, great video as always!! Would you recommend the Fractal Design North Chalk White? I really like the look of it and would like to pair it with the DeepCool LS720. Is there anything to consider? Thank you so much!

Still using my Black Fractal Design Refine 5, solid panels, its going on 9 years and my 3rd build(4790k/3600/5800x3d). Great case, fits my 6950x once you take out the HD tray, still stays pretty cool, but I've added 4 extra 140mm fans over the years. It might be time to go to a new case, thinking a montech sky two would look good.

Just got the DeepCool CH560 Digital and it's awesome. Really easy to work with, good cable management. Great design for air flow. Love having an extra 120 fan directly under the graphics card blowing cold air from the bottom front 140 fan onto it, it's just a fantastic design! Plus the little display at the bottom with CPU and GPU temps/usage is just cool. Really can't recommend this case enough, DeepCool has really stepped their game up recently.

I have mixed feelings about PC cases in general, especially when trying to budget for components. I feel that for some people, spending more on cases / fans / flair is important to them. It's a second kind of cool for many, and a point of pride for others. But at the same time, I get so frustrated when people severely limit their budget for something "cool" and leave much needed performance on the table. And I say this as an individual that has both skimped and overspent on cases in the past.

I agree but I can also see someone buying a super nice and cool case as a long term investment. I could see the reasoning on a first build to cheap out on components just making sure the build works and someone can actually build a computer that will boot. Then you have a high end PC case to build any future builds in now that you are confident and enjoyed PC building. When I was a noob I cheaped out on everything.. so just sayin. LOL

True. Deciding on a case is a subjective matter if u are well informed and did ur research. Unfortunately a lot of people just pick any randomly recommended one or watch old reviews and pick stuff although there might have been better or newer options/versions. Team pc builders picks seem rock solid to me. I personally bought a grey non RGB Fractal torrent cause I wanted a big case with the best airflow (180€). Its been 12 years since I bought a case so the price is fine and I expect it to last a little 😁

@05DonnieB

6 ай бұрын

I think it comes down to budget. If you're building a system that has a total cost of say $600-700 then the case needs to be budget so you can put more into gpu/cpu. If say you are like me and spent $2000+ on your PC, then looks do matter at that price point. The good thing is when you are already spending that kind of coin most cases/components look good. That's why I went with Phanteks P500A 😊

Hi Jason Just wanted to drop this comment and say that you are an amazing person that has made immeasurable amount of positive impact on everyone who is looking into building a PC or even seasoned veterans that need a refresher or just an update. We appreciate you always

I have the be quiet! Pure Base 500DX Black and I absolutely love it.

I can vouch for the AP201. Great case. Really want to build a console killer in the Fractal Ridge now.

It's an older case but the Coolermaster HAF evo test bench style case is nothing short of amazing when it comes to airflow, and is still water cooling ready with built in support and it's regularly under 70 bucks these days. It's easy to build in and move around as well.

I have the Lian Li 011 Dynamic and i have to say that case is insane for space and airflow. If you don't mind spending extra for the fans ( i have 10 in total which includes the fans on my AIO Rad ). Even though its expensive i still think i made the right choice, Tinkering inside the PC is a breeze because of all the room you have. I have had smaller cases which makes upgrading / tinkering inside a little harder along with cable management. With a monster case like the 011 thats not an issue as there is more than enough room for anything.

I literally just bought the Antec Performance 1 FT W. I watched a LOT of reviews and it matched my needs while being a really great case and at $120 on Black Friday sale it was a no brainer. I really, really wanted the Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO but you can't get the white one without jumping through hoops and buying it from some sketchy reseller.

Cool...I just started watching this channel to figure out what to replace my 7 year old Dell disappointment with. I was leaning towards a system integrator, but decided to do my first PC build in 19 years. I was hesitating about which case to get.

Love to hear it, good luck with the build! If you build it, it will run! Thanks for watching and glad we could help :D

All good points. Any case around the $100 mark that comes with less than 4 fans (unless it's the Lian Li 216 with larger 140mm fans) I avoid. Recently I bought a dozen Antec Dark League Flux DF600s (4 quality fans preinstalled plus additional boxed fan with controller hub) for a job I was doing for a university. They were on sale for $65 a piece (plus Antec sent me 6 free replacements) and all parties were very satisfied. Very good combination of positive air flow combined with great dust filtration that did not impede air flow. Highly recommend when at the right price.

I'm back in my mITX Node 304. It's an older case with some limitations, and probably better suited to being a NAS, but I do love my little white companion cube

Got a case for 30 bucks brand new ,3 100mm rgb fans included pre installed , complete front(fully open) to back airflow ,the only short comming is the top mount for the power supply but if you have a modular it is absolutely fine

If you need a case with optical drive bays I got my Fractal Pop Air in May for $63 off Newegg and have been very happy with it. With the drive bays hidden under a magnetic panel I think it looks pretty good also and think it is a good choice if you can get it on sale.

I went with the Fractal Pop Air for my new case as it's the only modern case that still has a provision for a CD Drive in the basement. They may be obsolete for most users, however I still have a massive collection of CD's, DVDs, and BluRays that I would like to use easily and conveniently without relying on another USB accessory. Frankly, I wish more manufacturers would consider having an "optional" provision for a CD drive in the basement as it really is the cleanest location to put one, which is usually dead space, or an area for HDD's. I think the only improvement I would suggest is that the drive should be accessed from the Glass Side of the case rather than the front, as that could make room for an extra fan or larger radiator at the front of the case.

great list, what about the bequiet pure base 500 dx or fractal north, you not recommend it?

I love my auros c500 glass for my Auros/Corsair AM5 build. Solid construction. Lots of room for the eatx motherboard. Plenty of rear space to fit the ssd drives, fan/rgb hubs (with one built-in), and lots of cable management options. Horizontal pcie slots can be removed and replaced with included verticle mount that also has riser cable mount attached. Compatible with Corsair shift Psu's. Can have up to 9 fans, comes equipped with 4 120mm fans, 3 with rgb rings, (which I moved to the bottom mounts for added airflow, and installed high end corsair fans in their place). Rgb Aorus logo on the front. Room for aio's. Usb c on the front io. Everything I needed for my top end build. But it was pricey at $250. It's definitely not a case for a budget build.

Over the summer I bought a Hyte y40 on sale for $99. It came with two non RGB fans, preinstalled in the rear and bottom. Two more 140mm fans on the side and it is fine, even with a 12700k and RX6950. At $99 I love the case, at normal price I would have went with the Montech Sky Two. I also built my wife a PC this summer in a Bitfenix Nova Mesh, in white and purple, her favorite color is purple, I really love this case, it was easy to build in, and everything seems to be very high quality, I will build in the Bitfenix case again.

I bought a Montech 903 Base (no RGB). I'm planning to change my current Corsair 680X. Kinda tired of all those RGBs. Gonna play with fewer FPS from now on, but I make my peace with it already. Great video, Brother Jay. 😉😎

Any thoughts on the fractal north? I just ordered one online for my first pc build.

I wanted to a get a Pop mini air, I love how space efficient it is! Only con: wish it supported 280mm rads Regular Pop Air has that support, yet feels kinda big Perhaps it's better for airflow and GPU clearance anyway as i don't think i would have had 2-2.5 inches of clearance with a Sapphire 7800 XT in it.

I got myself fractal meshify 2 and it is simply beautiful and ice cold

I went with the white nv7 case for my first full tower all white high end pc build. Some of ny specs are the gigabyte aero 4090 oc, 7800x3d, 4 sticks of 16 gig white corsair vengeance ram for a total of 64 gigs at 6,000 mhz and I filled the case with fans and it is the best looking and best performing pc I have built so far.

Jason, crazy question. Is there a case you feel is comparatively better at keeping dust out than others?

Went with the Lian li Lancool iii for my first build, solid case! Do recommend to other first time builders

I got my Montech Air 100 Lite Case for 37 dollars last week. I have a Micro ATX Case. I upgraded form a RedDragon Jetfire Case Full ATX to the Montech Air 100 Lite Case. Better cable management, better airflow, looks nice and works perfectly for my build. I have 2 fans but will get later just 2 more but my cpu temps never exceeds 55C and my GPU never exceeds 58C(thats if both of them are running 100% usage).

Very cool list. I'm getting parts to build my first pc, so I'm trying to find a case that fits a 4080. I appreciate the info.

Got the NZXT H7 Flow, it's a case I'm going to be using for the next decade at least. Lovely case!

@PCBuilderChannel I just built with the Bitfenix Nova Mesh mATX case. With the BitFenix 4+4 fan controller can the fans be run in pwm mode? Currently i can only get them to run dc. You mentioned your live build with that case is there a place I could watch that to get some help?

for those like me who don't like rgb, don't want a transparent panel (being a acrilic or glass) but just a closed, minimalist atc pc case with good airflow, good looking and for a decent price (under 100) it looks like it's quite difficult to find something.

I'm in the same boat as you, basically Fractal is the only option if you want frontal USB-C too, the Pop Air Solid is under 100 but then you have to buy a separate bracket for the Frontal USB-C.

Trying to decide between the Li Liancool 216, Fractal Pop Air and the DeepCool Ch560. My pc is in the living room and so would prefer the most quite one, but looks also help :) Any thoughts/recommendations?

How does a push/pull setup on my AIO radiator factor into pressure differential? Right now I have 3 intake in front of my rad, and 3 exhaust fans on the top of my case. And I typically have negative airflow pressure. Will adding 3 more intake fans on the opposite side of my rad help move me to positive airflow pressure?

Was planning to go with the lancool 216. Found a discounted lancool iii at $30-40 extra. Went with it. Already maxed out on GPU though, at least for my needs, not for my greeds. Just wanted to have a tiny bit more space, so the case could last me for eternity. CPU is a bit older, but not bottlenecking in the games that I play. Would've stuck with the 216 if I would've tried to save money.

I just want you to be happy with what you get, whatever that is! Glad you are enjoying your PC case!

Great video, love the channel. I really like the fact that you include info for the full spectrum of builders not just the upper and ultra high end consumer. I am in the market for a new case, unfortunately, I am limited to no wider than 9 inches. I would really appreciate any recommendations between $75 and $110. I am looking to build with a standard ATX case using a 7900 XT graphics card.

Montech AIR 903 is such a great value and so easy to build in (something I value cause I have sausage fingers). It even has a type c port for under 75 bucks and can fit gpus that are really long as well. Unless you are looking for something in a specific design or smaller, I suggest that.

@@mrpembry LL2 Mesh is another great case and if it's a good price (under 100 usd) It's not a bad option if the AIR isn't in stock

I want to buy the NZXT H6 for my build and my question is: Do I need to buy additional fans? like 1 in the back is necessary? Thx for your help!

I got the Antec DP505 in prep for my first build. I don't have any past experience to compare it to, but what I love off that bat; A shit ton of space to work with. 2 USB 3.0 ports on the top mounted IO. Cheap, can get it for under $100. GPU support bracket 3 pre installed fans that seem good quality. Bear minimum I just need a rear exhaust fan. Lot of room for ventilation. 360mm front, 360mm top, 240mm bottom (PSU shroud mounted)

@@PCBuilderChannel Fr? Didn't know that at the time, got it last month on a deal from Amazon. Looking for it again and I only see used ones being sold so might be right about it not being available.

Do you recommend those new cases with a hinge side glass door.

I can’t use the argb fans with a b550 with 4 pins right? So I would have to replace the fans when buying one of the budget cases that comes with argb fans correct?
