    I want to get a new case for my PC, into something smaller, but as thats a fairly substantial job in itself, I was looking to upgrade it further.

    Here are my current specs.

    http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/4zHJrH (forgot to add the Noctua fans that I own)

    Has anyone any recommendations in what you would upgrade next? CPU & GPU are fine I think, motherboard is newish. New Case, Cooler recommendations perhaps?

    Taking into co consideration your large ass gpu. Look up a Thermaltake core v21. Are you changing the cooler? Hyper evo is pretty good.

    Yeah the GPU is pretty big & ugly, but its a good balance between quiet & fast :P

    I was thinking about this case

    https://www.hardwareversand.de/Midi/158549/NZXT+H440+wei%C3%9F+mit+Sichtfenster%2C+schallged%C3%A4mmt%2C+ohne+Netzteil.article

    Seems to get good reviews, has some nice bonus features & looks amazing.

    There is a reason the H440 was voted Tom's Hardware's Best Case of 2014. It is a very nice looking case, with excellent radiator support, good airflow, quiet and most of all, it looks nice.
    But it is heavy (all steel construction) and is possibly larger than the 300R.

    Youre right! I read the dimensions incorrectly yesterday!

    The case above would have been perfect for me about 6-9 months ago, but I recently changed around my desk layout to have a more traditional under-desk tower setup.

    Guess I'll keep looking. :(
