Aoa!
I need help selecting a new case for my system. It should have some decent cooling as my previous one caused my gpu to overheat a lot. I have found two in the market: One is Carbide Spec-01 and the other one is Cooler Master n400. Spec-01 is going for 4k with 2 extra fans and n400 for 5.8k. Which one should i go for? I would also consider any other option in 4-5k range. I was leaning more towards spec-01 as it looks good but if the cooling is good on some other case than i would definitely consider it.

My specs are...

Motherboard: Gigabyte h110m-ds2 ddr3
Processor: i3 6100
GPU: EVGA gtx 1060 3gb SC
Memory: 4x2 DDR3 Ram
1 tb hard disk
PSU: Cooler Master RS-600-PCAR-E3

1060 is a decent card. It can adjust in any mid tower casing. I will suggest

Thermaltake Versa N25 (Sleek cool design with good ventilation system)

Although Carbide Spec-01 is also good choice. Check which one is easily available.

I actually sold the 1060 and bought a Sapphire Nitro rx 480. It's bigger than the 1060(which barely fit in my current case).

I can get the carbide spec-01 conveniently in a good price but if i get the Versa N25 will it be better? Also, do you think spending an extra 2.5k on the Versa will be worth it?

Hey !
Try Versa C21 , recently got it .Its a pretty good case (has room for 2 intake front + 2 exahust top +1 exhaust back). I am running a 1070 GTX , and it fits perfectly fine. Also there is lots of room at the back for cable management. I got it for 7.5k however.

Nitro RX 480 is around 240mm in length and Versa N25 has good 360mm GPU space. So I guess it can adjust pretty easily in it. Just make sure to look for Radiator Compatibility and Water 3.0 list for future concern.

The extra cash is for looks and design :). Depends on your taste.

That's out of my range

What about the performance? Which one will be better for cooling?
I should also add that the carbide case is not available anymore. I can buy it online but then the price difference between the Carbide and Versa will only be about 1k. Which one should i go for with only 1k difference?
