Hey friends,
I currently have a Corsair 650D. It's super well made, and a pleasure to work in, but it's an old design. No USB 3 front ports is a major issue, and overall I think this case is bigger / heavier than I need.
I have a small water cooler today (Corsair H80i v2) but see myself upgrading this with my next build. I use a 7700k and a GTX 1080, with 1x 5.25" optical, 2x 3.5" mech drives, and 2x 2.5" SSDs.
I want at least 2 USB 3.0 Type A ports on the front, and ideally a 3.1 Type C port as well. Some 2.0s would be fine too.
The most important thing to me is having something that's built extremely well, has plenty of room to work in / space behind the mobo tray for cables / overall good design and engineering. I don't care about RGB LED or windows, tho a window would be fine. I generally like an understated design, and generally prefer a matte finish in black.
I would like to run a bigger closed loop cooler, maybe with a new Ryzen or something
Fractal Design R6 looks like a good fit, but I'm wondering what other people like. Money isn't really an object.
Thoughts?
