GX500 ILLUSION

Antec GX500 ILLUSION Black Computer Case
Antec GX500 ILLUSION Black Computer Case

Pros: Nice led Fans .More than enough room for my build. Great filter setup.Fan covers remove without having to take side panels off. Ability to take top 120 fan cover off is a real plus to be able to clean fans. Overall case looks are good Not fancy but simple and clean. Nice side window.

Cons: Cable management could be a little bigger. No USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 adapter. Case is on the thin side but not bad.

Overall Review: I have never bought a case in this price range. I have bought 3 other cases from Antec over the years, they were a lot more. So for the money the GX500 with three blue led fans and filters is a good deal.

Its windows 10 64 bit what can I say.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home - Full Retail Version (USB Flash Drive)

Seasonic FOCUS GX-650, 650W 80+ Gold, Full-Modular, ATX Form Factor, Low Noise, Premium Japanese Capacitor, 10 Year Warranty, Nvidia RTX 30/40 Super, AMD GPU Compatible, Ref# SSR-650FX

Pros: I have been using a Seasonic 550 for 4 years day and night and not a glitch. Decided to build a new gaming pc and bought the focus gx-650, 10 year warranty need I say more.

Cons: none

Overall Review: what can I say its really good and its tuff .no RGB lights or fancy stuff just a workhorse power supply that does its job.

Geat cooling

Phanteks Glacier One 360MP D-RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, Infinity Mirror Pump Cap Design, 3x Silent 120mm MP PWM Fans, Black, PH-GO360MP_DBK01

Pros: Easy to install, its made to fit the P500a case and it does that well. It keeps my 10th gen core i7-10700k core temp is 27c socket temp is 27c pump fans running at 835 t0 837 rpm. Even playing games it does not get hot. This is my first AIO and I am glad I changed form air cooling to water cooling . Phanteks makes great products!!

Cons: Wish RGB fans were included. Not really a con just a wish.

Overall Review: would highly recommend this cooler.

NICE

Cons: none

Overall Review: I would recommend this fan. It looks good. and easy to install

Great Case

Phanteks Eclipse P500A High Airflow Full-metal Mesh Design, ATX Mid-tower, Digital-RGB Lighting, 140mm D-RGB Case Fans, Tempered Glass, Dual System Capable, Black
Phanteks Eclipse P500A High Airflow Full-metal Mesh Design, ATX Mid-tower, Digital-RGB Lighting, 140mm D-RGB Case Fans, Tempered Glass, Dual System Capable, Black

Pros: This case has lots of room to build in. Cable management is excellent also. I have used Antec cases for years but now Phanteks is my go to case. Air flow is really good with the mesh front. Temps compared to my old case are like night and day. I did add a rear exhaust fan.

Cons: Wish they would have added a rear RGB exhaust fan but no egg off for that.

Overall Review: I don1t think you can go wrong with this case.
