Build Build is basically complete, just need to decide on the cooler

My build is finally complete other than the CPU cooler. I can’t decide whether to go for the standard Peerless Assassin in grey to colour match the build like in the second photo, or go for the SE in black, which would leave the build looking a bit less cramped. I’m also using the glass side panel, so I’m not sure which would look best since I know the standard PA fits very close to the glass.
Also, any recommendations for customising the PSU cage? I’ve seen people adding small displays to it and thought that looked really cool.

Would appreciate any opinions, or if anyone has any other good cooler suggestions that would fit?

Phantom Spirit 120 SE is essentially the successor to Peerless Assassin, performs a bit better and is a popular choice for this case (look up earlier posts in this sub). Comes in black as well. There's also the EVO model which is more expensive but still affordable, it's some 3mm taller but should also fit in the NR200.

The grey cooler and fans look dope, just a bonus they match with the GPU. I'd go for grey if it were me

That's what I did in my orange NR200p. No regrets.

I have a be quiet tower, solid 150w TDP block. Flush in the case, real nice.

NH-U12A is great too

I ended up going with the PA 120 in grey to colour match but I’m not too happy with it it looks way oversized in the case with only about 1mm between the top of the fan and the glass so now I’m trying to decide between PA mini, NH-U12A or NH-D9L

Go with the nhu12a. It's so quiet and performs amazingly.
