Depends if you are looking for a special case with a certain design or just a regular case

my build is for gaming and video purposes, so probably like a "gaming look" to it

That's a good case I use both. Oh and if you want you can use Amazon they have free 2 day shipping when you use Prime. You can get the Prime trial it's free.

Yes I added another case which is bigger. I have a 212 installed in both and a 670 as well.

The 600 T you linked is a very good choice. Cant go wrong with any Corsair case really. I own a 500r And Its great choice if you want something a little cheaper and smaller than the 600T.

If you want a simplistic looking case with a lot of features and great specs, check out the Fractal Design R4. If the amount of noise your pc makes is a concern, then this is the case to go with. Even if noise isn't your first priority, at least give it a look. I should mention these cases are built like a tank, and have minimal plastic (which is a good thing!)

Here is the standard version, black with white fans and no window.

If you want a case with a window, they have versions of that well. Although you should be aware, the noise cancellation will degrade.

And lastly, here is the Newegg page that has R4s in white, black, and titanium.


So now that I have given you a few links, I wanna actually talk about the case for a second. Some of the previous cases posted in this thread are not such a good idea (not to mention the R4 is significantly cheaper than most cases previously posted), especially for a first time builder. A full tower case is not needed and is generally a waste of money and space.

This is personal preference, but the cases that have all of those LEDs and light up panels look like robots poop. I think they look trashy, in a way, and I feel as if you are paying for the flash, and not quality. But, I've never owned one, so what do I know.

Either way, take a look at the Fractal I linked you to. The reviews speak for themselves.

p.s. I own an r4 myself and couldn't be happier. It was also my first build and the r4 was so easy to work with. Oh and about your two extra fans, the r4 has lots of room for expansion. You can mount the 120mms in the front, back, or top.

Good luck on your build.
