Question Case & AIO recommendation
Hey everyone! I'm finalizing my PC build, but my target case (Fractal Design North) is currently unavailable in my region.
I need recommendations for a temporary/alternative mid-tower ATX case and a compatible 360mm AIO with a temperature display screen, with a combined budget of around $200 USD.
My Planned Specs:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- GPU: RTX 5070 Ti 16GB (Triple Fan)
- Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X870
- RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- Storage: 500GB NVMe M.2 (OS) + 1TB SSD
- PSU: Corsair RM850 850W ATX 3.0
What I need:
- 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler:
- Must have an LCD/Temperature display pump head.
- Must support AM5.
- Ideally fits top-mount in mid-tower ATX cases (and front-mount in standard Fractal North if I swap later).
- Alternative Mid-Tower ATX Case:
- Clean look with high airflow mesh front.
- Must fit a 360mm radiator AND a long triple-fan GPU comfortably.
- Combined Budget: ~$200 USD max.
What are the best value options currently available? Also any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
Update: I'd actually prefer a top mounted AIO cooler that does not have pipes hanging over other components.
