Nid some recommendation on PC Case

[flipenjoi]

do you have a budget in mind for your casing?

As my room gets dusty often need a case with easy to remove dust mesh for cleaning. Any recommendations to go along with the build I am planning to buy and any improvement I can change in the build?

Planning to get from Tradepac from SLS

Current pricing now is 1990

Personally, ever since about 10yrs ago, I bought a USB optical writer for standby. Use it less than 10 times since.

Overlooked the optical drive,.... WHY?

In this day and age there is no need for this anymore. Windows should be installed via a USB stick and its a lot easier to download and prepare than you may think. Just need to make sure you have a valid key ready or just install it and activate later.

Just to close this off,.. look at all newer cases - they have done away with the front panel where you install these dinosaur drives.

From my option, he wanted to have wifi6 card ba, only x570 have compatibility on wifi6, therefore he chose tuf gaming, i would suggest u to check on amazon and newegg for the price and compared with sls vendors, sometimes online is much cheaper but provided u are not rushing to new build

I hav no issues with corsair kits b4 my current ones, seems ok leh, never heard of major issues unless u are going to extreme oc with corsair kits

ya I do wan my wifi due to the inbuild Bluetooth for my ps4 controller and my LAN port is in a very bad location due to bad construction (nid to play my monster hunter ) this is my upgrade in 5yrs.

At your budget I would recommend 3 casings:

NZXT H510i - Matte Black / White Colour - $179

Corsair Obsidian Series 500D - Sleek Black Metal Finish - $219

LIAN LI PC-O11 Dynamic - Black / White - $180

All are Mid Tower casings that have enough room for your build. Unfortunately I have to agree that optical drives are being phased out with new cases, you may not be able to fit one in.

The Corsair is slightly out of budget, however it is one sleek looking casing and easy to manage for dust with the removable filters, Front Panel, Top Panel and PSU Fan.

As you are building a new PC, you should also consider looking for a casing that has a USB C Front Connector so that in the future you can also utilise it if you choose a Motherboard with Front USB C head connector.

Almost all new mobile/tech devices now use a USB C connector and you will appreciate having it for future proofing your case. All 3 cases have a USB C Front input header.
