ivy bridge = no, unless they've fixed heat dissipation which is quite unlikely at this point/sensitivity to voltages case = get an Define R3 or Fractal ARC and swap out that CPU cooler for a NH-U12P SE2.

Phantom does not look half as sexy as it looks in the pictures imho. And 2500k is still the banger to go for. How about Bitfenix Shinobi (maybe even XL version) ? i5 6600k @ 4.3 GHz \| MSI z170 Gaming M7 \| 32GB Kingston HyperX Fury \| 850 Evo 500GB \| EVGA 1070 SC \| Seasonic X-660 \| CM Storm Stryker

While the phantom has got great expansion capabilities as well as a really solid frame the detachable top and front of the case is really plasticy and breaks extremely easy, so looking at another case is a great idea

2500k is only ~20 euros cheaper

And since the ivy bridge > sandy bridge for only that 20 euro, it's worth it Smile

And the Phantom is the same case i got, it's awesome in airflow and looks pretty neat, same for cpu cooler, keeps mine cool just fine Smile
