So I'm currently in the middle of an upgrade. Have a Maximus X Hero and 16GB DDR4. Am hoping to grab an 8600k or 8700k soon for them . Already have storage(2TB HDD + 250GB 850 EVO) and PSU I'll be using(850W G2). I'm in the middle of dealing with moving and doing driving lessons so I'll probably be finishing this new system off over the space of a few weeks. Will be trading my old system for a 1070Ti hopefully, so all I really need now is a case. This is where I need help.
I have been looking at the Meshify C, H500P Mesh, and a bunch of other alternatives. I don't want a case with white exterior though, I want black interior and black or white interior. I've been leaning towards the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M SE as it has a nice TG window, good airflow, I've built in it before and it comes with 2 RGB fan frames;

but I've just seen some images of the new NZXT H500, and I also really like the look of the full sized Enthoo Pro(non M), and Fractal Design Define R6. Someone help a brother choose the right case.
I was going to re-use my Kraken X61 but have been wanting an air upgrade for a while so am just gonna shell out the money for a Dark Rock Pro 4 and give my X61 to a buddy. I'll be running my 3x 140mm Pure Wings 2's in the new system. Will also be using my K70 for now(until it $hits itself and I can go RGB). My Raptor M45 mouse is pretty old though and I'm considering something new. I have a few options, just not sure what the best is or whether it's even worth upgrading from my M45 so suggestions there would be amazing. Here are the mice I am considering;

500GB 860 EVO addition and more HDD space will be added in the future, but that's a later upgrade.

Remember our lad Zayev // Terrabytez [Legit had to look into the archives to find out how you spell his name]. Welp, he had the Enthoo pro and he just kept complaining about it. It's far too big for his needs and was just full of plastic everywhere.
For cases, I tend to shop around for ones that not many people know about // not mainstream stuff, gives you that edgy look for you rig. I'd recommend for you the Anidees AI Crystal. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
There is an option to have have the outside [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
With that case, I'd reccomend looking at reviews // builds. The side panels are very smoked. However, the way I've done my case [I have it's cubed varient], you can use LED's either from fans or whatever as highlights and it works really well IMO.

RIP Zayev. I remember he loved that Enthoo Pro but thought it was a bit big to be fair. I've build in an Enthoo Pro M before and it was nice, felt a little smaller than my H440 but the Enthoo PRO M TG SE with RGB fan frames is really appealing to me right now.
I've had a look at the Anidees and don't personally quite like the look of it, won't work well in my current set-up or my future set-up, unfortunately. That Anidees Cube though! WOW! I do like that, it's just going to be too big for me I think(also dat price tag, ouch) I think I'd buy the H500P Mesh if it came in black. It's huge and expensive, but I love it.
Really leaning towards Enthoo Pro M at this point, but the cheaper Meshify C is pretty attractive, and I do like the Define R6 Been looking at the NZXT H500, but I don't love it and this H440 hasn't been great. Plus I'm getting rid of the Kraken X61 for a Dark Rock Pro 4 anyway so I'll probably just avoid NZXT.
Any thoughts on mice? I love my Raptor M45 but it feels dated. That Dark Core looks bad ass, but I don't quite know if I can justify 75 quid on a mouse amongst all these other upgrades
I quite like the look of the ROG Pugio and M65 Pro, kinda leaning towards M65 PRO since I already have a Corsair keyboard and am coming from a Corsair mouse that I love, plus it's a tenner less than the ROG.
Maybe I'll just get drunk one night and order the Dark Core mouse and a CM H500P Mesh or NZXT H700i because I have zero self control lmfao

I've been thinking about upgrading to this case my buddy recently got it's really nice for a very reasonable price.
Cooler Master - MasterBox Pro 5 RGB ATX Mid Tower Case

As far as mouse goes, I recently bought the Razer Naga Chroma
Very nice mouse and if you like the hotkeys on mouse it's the one for you. I personally don't use them but some people really like it.

Exact same case I have, the Noctis just has a more 'gamer' aesthetic.

Bit too on the budget end for me. Don't like the fron panel anyway, I'd be getting a H500P Mesh or something if I went CM.
For mouse, the only reason I'd buy Razer is if I could get it stupid cheap lol, I don't particularly like any of their mice that I've used and they're almost all constantly over-priced anyway
