Hello guys,

I am building a new PC and looking for a Case where I could mount the AiO top. (As far as I know, top mount is better than front)

Can you recommend a case for circa 110 Euros, with a window, place for 1 HDD + at least 1 SSD, and very good airflow?
I, therefore, do not need any soundproofed properties.

Despite that, does there even exist a good case for a 360 or 420 Arctic Liquid Freezer which fulfills the criteria above?
It should cool a Ryzen 5900x. My graphics card is a GTX1080 GLH Edition and my mainboard and ram, so keep in mind the measurements.

I would appreciate any recommendations.
If there is no case that fits the criteria above I think I will go with a BeQuiet500DX and a AS500

You are asking for trouble using a high end aio cooler when a good air cooler will do the job.
Noctua has an extensive cpu/cooler suitability chart.
Here is the one for the 5900x:

NH-D15 is the best,
but you may note that even a NH-U14s will do the job.
Look for a case with at least 160-165mm cooler height and at least two 140mm front intakes

How about this cm H500 with two 200mm front intakes...
