    Hello, it so happened that I am assembling the computer and I need a housing, I pasted a link for water cooling because it is a problem, it does not fit into the old housing. I am looking for a housing in which I could mount this cooling from the top, preferably if it was equipped with she's in a "window" or something like that due to the presence of a lot of backlight that I would like to see. Of course, within reason when it comes to money, I need something that will fit it all, so that the housing for PLN 700-800 is not an option ... I would be very grateful for any help !!

    Yes, the Kraken x62 cooling system will come into this case to the front and top.
    I recommend FILMIK to this case - you'll find out everything.
    BUT :!:
    If you don't mind the white color, I recommend a case with a window on HINGES . Unfortunately, the price of the black color jumped up quite significantly - I was buying for PLN 380 (currently black is the cost PLN 466 ). The hinged window is very comfortable. For my part, I recommend this housing. Unfortunately, but the plexiglass window, however, it is not so easy to scratch. Of course, the door can be completely removed to install components.

    As for the Kraken (regardless of the housing), I suggest mounting on the front and using the push & pull method (you need to buy two additional 140mm fans, e.g. THESE ). Or:
    front-> fans-> cooler-> fans.
    Tests (mine and general on the Internet) show that:
    - Kraken on the front = very low CPU and GPU temperatures unchanged or +1/2 degrees (depending on the housing and fans installed in it);
    - Kraken on top = low CPU temperatures (but even 10 degrees higher than AIO on the front), but not much different from air cooling, GPU unchanged or -1/3 (depending on the housing and fans installed in it);

    As you know, Kraken is bought to get a low CPU temperature, so it's a shame to mount it on the top of the case, because warm air flows from the case through the coolers, and the fans only push it out faster. On the other hand, mounting the Kraken on the front means sucking in cool air from the outside and pushing it further onto the casing (and if the push & pull method - it is faster and more efficient, and thus - we have a low temperature of the CPU). The fans on the back and on top will do the rest.

    Added after 17 [minutes]:

    Check if the Kraken pump wires are covering your first bank of RAM. Unfortunately, probably in all MSI z370 this is the case, and then you either mount a pump with wires at the top / bottom / left, or low-profile RAM.
