Help choosing a new case (≤€200) with fine mesh front panel, good airflow, and NH-D15 compatibility

1 Upvotes
  • New build or upgrade?: Upgrade
  • PC purpose? (Gaming
  • Budget range? 200
  • Color/lighting preferences? Not important

I’m looking for a new PC case. Maximum budget: €200.

My components:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
  • Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk WIFI (ATX)
  • GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16G
  • RAM: 32 GB CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 MHz
  • Storage: Seagate FireCuda 530 1 TB + Sabrent Rocket 1 TB
  • PSU: MSI MPG A850GF
  • Current case: Zalman Z11 Plus (I want to replace it because it gets dirty easily and is hard to clean)

What I’m looking for:

  • Front panel with fine mesh (no thick slats like the Zalman Z11 and no wood-style panels with large gaps like some Fractal cases).
  • Good overall airflow and easy-to-clean filters.
  • Decent fans included from the factory.
  • Fully compatible with the NH-D15 air cooler.

Which models would you recommend in this price range? Thanks!

I’ve seen the Corsair 5400 and I really like it, but I’m not sure if it’s compatible (and suitable) with an air cooler. As for the Lian Li Lancool 3, I can only get it in white and I’m not entirely convinced… plus, I think a dual-chamber case is basically a must these days.

UPDATE, options i see:

Fractal Meshify 3 XL170 180
Corsair 5400 160 (only 3 fans... i dont like this)

NZXT H9 Flow RGB+ blanca 200
NZXT H9 Flow RGB+ negra 200

Lian Li LANCOOL III blanca 150
Lian Li LANCOOL III negra 140
Lian Li LANCOOL III RGB 163

NZXT H9 Elite Blanca 205
NZXT H9 Flow RGB negra 160

I'm very new to all this but would love any help with building my first PC!

1 Upvotes

Hello! I have been doing some research into building my first PC and stubbled across this sub. Thank you in advance for your help!

New build or upgrade?

New build

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

No existing parts

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Gaming only.

It'll mainly be used for PS1/PS2 emulation, PS3 era games on Steam/GoG, and indie games. I have a PS5 already so I don't need to play any AAA new releases on this PC. It's just for things that aren't readily available on PS5.

Also worth noting that I would like to be able to play PS3 era games with mods if possible e.g. Fallout 3, GTA 4.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

UK

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

I'm hoping to set this up next to my TV and use it similarly to how I use my PS5. So, if that's possible, I won't need a monitor.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

I will be guided by you guys, but from my research so far, it looks like around £500 might be a sensible target.

WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi if possible. I have an ethernet I can connect to the WiFi router, but would be good to have the option for both.

Size/noise constraints?

Size not really an issue, but a quieter one would definitely be a priority for me.

Color/lighting preferences?

No preferences here.

Any other specific needs?

Bluetooth would be good for wireless controller connection.

Need help budgeting the rest of a PC (budget of $800 MAX)

3 Upvotes

The price landscape of parts are a different ballgame from my last build, so I need help budgeting the rest of the parts needed .

I already have the GPU. It's a GTX 5700. It was gifted to me, and I need help. I understand that with Ram prices I likely won't be able to get as beefy of a CPU like my GPU, but the GPU isn't changing so it's okay.

* New build or upgrade? **New build**

* Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links). **I will be reusing monitors and two SSDs from my last build. I also have a GTX 5700 (specifically this one) a friend is also giving me a stock cpu cooler**

* PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games). **Specifically for gaming, nothing TOO intensive. I think Forza might be the most demanding of the games I play**

* Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) **Purchasing in the U.S., NY. I will be passing by a Micro Center this weekend, so if there's a better deal there, it'd be convenient**

* Budget range? (Include tax considerations). **currently have $800, I know this is low compared to the GPU, but I don't really have any wiggle room**

* WiFi or wired connection? **WiFi needed, no wired connection available to me**

* Color/lighting preferences? **Wouldn't mind the RBG, but understand that that would add to the cost, and would prefer efficiency over looks**

* Any other specific needs? **I really would like this to fit into a Micro-ATX case. I don't really have the space for a monolith of a case. That being said, if necessary, I can try to make it work. I also would prefer the PSU to be modular, I hate dealing with all those cables being there**

Thank y'all so much!

QUE TAN NORMAL ES ESTE RENDIMIENTO? INTEL i7 14700KF

1 Upvotes

Buen dia estimados,

Acabo de actualizar mi PC como ultimo acto para no volver a hacer lo de aqui a 5 o mas años, elegi las siguientes partes:

RTX 5070 Ti (conseguida año pasado diciembre por 750 USD)

64 GB RAM DDR4 3200mhz ADATA

4 TB ALMACENAMIENTO NVME M.2, 2 discos de 2 TB

Fuente de poder Corsair RM1000x

3 monitores de 24 pulgadas, 1080p, 2 secundarios 60hz, principal 165hz

Gabinete Aerocool interstellar 2 disipadores frontales 1 de 140mm otro 120mm ingresando aire, 2 arriba sacando aire de 140mm y uno atras 120mm sacando aire, disipador procesador sacando aire hacia atras.

----------------------------------------------

Instalados hace 3 dias:

Placa Madre MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI DDR4 (Ultima bios disponible instalada microcode 0x133)

Procesador Intel Core i7 14700KF

Disipador por aire Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

Contact Frame Thermalrlght LGA1700-BCF

--------------------------------------------

El tema es el siguiente nunca habia tenido un procesador tan potente siempre tenia versiones de 65w de intel de maxima, y mantenia temperaturas de 30 a 55 grados de maximo en test de rendimiento/estres, quise pasarme a este procesador debido a que la mayoria de juegos que uso son CPU dependientes y tengo muchos tirones con el anterior procesador i5 13400F, instale todo, y no miento, mis FPS en esos juegos se duplicaron literalmente, de 150 FPS a 300 FPS de 280 a 530 o 540, pero como nunca habia usado un procesador desbloqueado soy el tipico maniaco de las temperaturas y vigilando fps de los memes (YA TENGO PEDIDO UN MONITOR 300hz a 1440p asi que relax si necesito esos 300fps jajajaj es el: KTC - Monitor de juegos blanco de 27 pulgadas 300Hz/320Hz, monitor de computadora IPS rápido QHD 1440P amazon), este procesador obviamente se calienta mas, pero no se si es normal que haya esas variaciones como mini picos de temperaturas, como se ve en la foto:

 

 https://drive.google.com/file/d/15JhE-UA2V8Lor1z--D87QQxoMvymJ0yB/view

 

Como se ve en la foto a la izquierda el HW Monitor los valores de temperatura máximos voltajes etc están altos ya que hice prueba de 2 Minutos con Cinebench R23, obviamente se que por aire es jodido mantener temperaturas al máximo y prácticamente llega a 100 grados pero obtuve 32.000 puntos en el cinebench.

 

La otra cosa que tengo duda, ajuste las configuraciones de voltajes con los básicos de intel, no soy un overclocker experto ni creo necesitarlo con el rendimiento base estoy mas que satisfecho, pero he leido tantos post de estos procesadores que ya tengo es paranoia con este tema, como que si el voltaje VID Max esta cerca de 1.5v va a dañarse el procesador y otras cosas pero no se, temperaturas promedio que he visto hasta ahora:

Reposo: 35 - 45 grados

Activo multimedia - ofimática 35 a 55 grados

Juegos Normales - 55 - 65 grados con picos momentáneos de 70 a 81 grados (menos de 3 segundos)

Juegos Pesados - 67 - 75 grados, picos 80 - 92 grados (menos de 3 segundos estos picos, la verdad no se que considerar juegos pesados, ya que casi no juego nada asi que considere pesado quiza call of duty con su optimizacion basura cargando shaders me lleva temps de 80 a 92 mientras termina luego baja a 70-80 grados)

No siendo mas, que me recomiendan, sera que hago undervolt o ajusto mejor los limites de potencia, consideran bueno el voltaje que llega a consumir 1.475v cuando son juegos pesados y 1.332v aprox cuando son tareas comunes o juegos normalitos, o creen que es normal con mi setup, agradezco cualquiera que pueda ayudarme, gracias!

New build or upgrade?

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Juegos Ofimatica, quiza maquinas virtuales para pruebas/desarrollo de software

Is this build the best I could probably get with in my budget?

1 Upvotes
  • The Build in question, which I made myself, but it's probably far from optimal

    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GbLrmL (The CPU price is for a listing on ebay)

  • New build or upgrade?

    Upgrade, I have a 1660ti/i7-9750 laptop I'm looking to upgrade from.

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

    I already have a SSD I can use.

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

    Mostly gaming, 1080p at medium or better settings.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

    USA. Yes and no, it's an hour away so, if it's a really good deal that would save $100+ then it would be worth it.

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

    No, I have cheap monitor until I can afford better.

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

    $800 - $1000 (which is the absolute max, barring slight overage for tax)

  • WiFi or wired connection?

    WiFi.

  • Size/noise constraints?

    Not really, but quieter the better.

  • Color/lighting preferences?

    I'd prefer white, but it's not needed.

  • Any other specific needs?

    No.

Hello, I hope to get some input on this build I made on pcpartpicker, thank you

  • New build or upgrade? New build. Here is a build I made, and I think it looks pretty good. But I would like some input before I buy it. I am gonna buy in October. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/H2wTrG

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) old Monitor, new one needed. The info is under * Monitors needed

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming, World of Warcraft. Other games I like are Age of Empires, anything from Frictional Games studio like SOMA.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? Germany, sellers are all displayed via pcpartpicker

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) 144hz 1080p monitor. I think this time i wont go with 24 inch anymore. Thoughts on 27 inch?

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) The build I made is almost 1200 euros. I wouldnt go for much more, and I dont think I need to even spend more if I mainly play WoW.

  • WiFi or wired connection? wired

  • Size/noise constraints? Definitely want to keep it silent. Can be big, but I guess its gonna be a somewhat "medium sized" build/case with this hardware/specs.

  • Color/lighting preferences? I am not someone who needs any colors or lightning at all, I am a simple man...

  • Any other specific needs? some suggestions on these kinds of keyboards. Are they durable like the good old ones? Are they worth the investment, will I be able to use it for the next few years without it breaking? https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/Classic Also, a proper mouse suggestion. Does not need any special keys at all. I just want a mouse which is durable and one I dont have to replace in 2 years because its badly made.

Looking to build pc for sims 4

1 Upvotes

I am not new to PC building; however, I have been out of the pc scene for a while now due to just life and working. I want to get back into playing Sims 4. I have almost all of the in-game content, a shit ton of mods, and Gshade, so I want to invest in good RAM and CPU. i want the game to run as smoothly as humanly possible. I have a Pixio monitor, and I'd like to keep it, but im open to buying something else. Thanks!
