My PC is in the line awaiting parts from Nvidia however I have noticed that the case I have ordered is no longer available for new orders.
I have ordered the Corsair Obsidian Series 500D RGB SE but see that the Corsair iCUE 5000x Case seems to have replaced it.
I can't see much difference except that the i CUE 5000x seems to be slightly bigger and slightly cheaper, However it would mean I could install the Corsair H115i CPU Cooler rather than the H100i. Does anyone know of any other significant differences. I have looked at the Corsair website but cannot really see anything major.
The question is should I change the case or stick with what I have already?
