I'm looking to upgrade my current PC case and cooling system. Right now, I have a rather inexpensive case from a local retailer in the Netherlands, equipped with seven RGB fans controlled by a controller, and a small AIO radiator with two fans mounted on top. I've already upgraded some parts like the GPU. Currently, my setup includes a GIGABYTE 9070XT OC ICE, MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 motherboard, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X CPU, and 32GB of Corsair RAM, all powered by an MSI Mag A850G PSU.
The case isn't visually appealing, has poor cable management, and I'm not impressed with the RGB fans since there's no brand info. Also, it's white, but I prefer a darker color. I'm hoping to find recommendations for a high-quality tower that can hold my GPU and motherboard, ideally including RGB fans.
Additionally, I'd like to replace the AIO cooler with something efficient; it would be great if it could integrate with the RGB setup, preferably with a screen. I'm open to fewer fans as long as my components can stay cool. I'd also like to ensure there's room for future upgrades since I plan to update my motherboard and CPU later on, especially since the B550 is becoming a bit outdated and I want to switch to DDR5 RAM.
My budget is around €200 for the case, but I could stretch to €250-300 for something exceptional. As for the AIO, I'm unsure but perhaps the same price range as the case if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I recommend checking out the Lian Li Lancool 207 or the Lancool 217. Both come with 4 to 5 fans depending on the model, and while the standard 217 might not have RGB, the 217 Infinity edition does and looks stunning. They offer great airflow, and either case fits your GPU and motherboard just fine. Plus, both can accommodate a 360mm AIO cooler up top. For cooling, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro is highly rated and available in both non-RGB and RGB versions, with a solid price point, especially compared to other options. In the US, the 207 runs about $80, while the 217 and Infinity are around $120. That AIO cooler is about $90. Definitely worth a look!
The 217 Infinity looks awesome, and the price is reasonable. Do you know if the AIO coolers with screens work with these cases? I’m aiming for the Hydroshift 360 along with the 217 Infinity and found them for about €307 total with shipping. It seems like a solid deal!
