Need suggestions for a new case

[bdubyah]

Currently looking at putting a new PC together. I'm using a Corsair Vengeance C70 at the moment, but I'd like to go as quiet as possible with the new one. I had a 200R before this and loved how quiet it was compared to this one overall but I had to move to a H115i cooler and this was about the smallest case I could find to hold it.

I'm gonna be moving to an 8700K and a 1080Ti whenever I can actually get one, it'll have the 1070 in it for now. Will be reusing the H115i, so it has to be big enough for that.

Looking at spending around $150ish, but am flexible.

Thanks in advance!

Personally having soft spot for this Fractal Design Define R5. It's so stealthy, I might bump into it when there's no LED or room lightning.

Fractal Design Define R6

Fractal Design and NZXT are both solid. Just pick what size you want. NZXT's new H series cases have USB 3.1 plugs out of the box. The above Fractal cases require a separate purchase. I haven't had to deal with Fractal's support, but I've always been quite impressed with NZXT's support.

I think USB 3.1 Gen1 is the same as what was called 3.0 before, whereas the faster 10gbps is now called USB 3.1 Gen2. Both cases have the former, whereas the upgrade purchase for the FD case you referred to has the latter in the form of a type-c connector.

I really wish the people in charge of these specifications could make it easy on consumers, what we have now is a real mess.

Good call on that. I was thinking the new NZXT cases had a C type connector on it, but you're correct.
