[gagi4253]

I have CM mb520, it has plastic front pannel which i think is not good for thermals.
So i am looking for upgrade is MS v715 good?

- mb520

My point is to get best airflow, is it bad if GPU is close to front intake pc case fan? Like in video of MS v715 at 6:43.

MS V715 Dimension- 215 x 480 x 425 mm (W x H x L)

CM MB520-

496 x 218 x 468mm (L x W x H)

My point is to get best airflow

If so, then only look towards cases that have grilled front panel, e.g like Corsair 4000D Airflow,

Note: choosing a PC case is personal choice and pick the one that you like the most.

GamersNexus reviews of PC cases, namely compilation of best cases of 2021, might help to pick one;

E.g Corsair 4000D Airflow got the best noise levels. And best noise-normalized thermals PC case is: Lian Li Lancool 215.

Hey, thanks for answer, i know this but this brands of pc cases in my country are ridicilously expensive, so it is out of my range, the MS Armor one is unknown brand outside my country, i know, but it got mesh compared to my mb520 with plastic. Its a bit smaller in lenght tho, and tiny bit taller.
I tried to search for anything that fit budget but most good mesh cases like silentium, deepcool are either overpriced or got no room for high end cpu air coolers.

are ridicilously expensive

I have no clue how much is "ridiculously expensive". Then again, price points are individual and each person decides how much is much.

In this part of the world, PC cases start as low as €40 and go up to easy €200+. When i'd be looking PC case for myself, i'll skip all the cheap PC cases since when you'll pay peanuts - you'll get monkeys. With cheap cases, there is no talk about build quality, reliability or ease of use. Only good part of such cases is the cheap price and that is it.

Now, if i find a PC case that suits my needs and also looks good, i'm willing to pay premium price for exceptional product. Due to that, my main PC (Skylake, full specs with pics in my sig), is sitting in a PC case, that costed me €198.40 (Corsair 760T V2 Black). <- For that kind of money, i could've gotten 4-5 cheap cases.

With this, you'd basically have 2 choices:

1. Find the case that suits your needs and collect some more money to buy it.
2. Buy the case within your budget today and be happy with all the shortcomings and handicaps it has.
