The NZXT H510 was a case of its era. Sleek design, muted colors, and terrible airflow. As we enter a new era of case making and welcome more mesh front panels and the reintroduction of air, let’s put aside the Lian Li 011 Dynamic temporarily to remember PCMR’s most popular case of 2017.

This build is made up entirely of off the shelf parts. No custom cables, no watercooling.

Built for streaming and gaming, this PC uses an AMD Wraith Prism air cooler to keep the 3700x cool and a massive, thicc 3 slot dual fan stock cooler for the EVGA 2080 Super. The two stock NZXT case fans are supplemented by the far superior offerings in the 140mm class available from Noctua. Even with a solid front panel, tempered glass, and air as an afterthought, this computer runs cool under load for a consistent gaming experience.
