Im not to sure on this stuff so I decided to ask for help. Im looking for a case that is very big and can fit a lot of fans. I plan to have a rtx 2070 or 3080 so Ill need a lot of space and space for a lot of fans so I can keep the temp down. Im not looking to spend a lot of money but could go up to $100. Any ideas on what I could go for?

SPECS

(GPU) : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

(CPU) : AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core Processor

(RAM) : DDR4 16 GB Dual 1066MHz

Solution
Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2 at $130 full tower.

The original Enthoo Pro is a little cheaper, but has 4 5 1/4" drive bays, kind of ruins the lots of the fans idea.

As for fans, you can spend a lot there on something like Noctua, EK-Vardar, Sharkoon, etc if you want the highest end for performance/noise.

Fractal Design themselves have some decent fans as far as I know. They certainly look the part if you just wanted to expand on what you have already.

Not had problems with Corsair FP and SP series fans, a little pricey (non-LED ones)

I also have some Swiftech fans, some Arctic fans, Xigmatek, BitFenix (their SP fans are quite loud, so not a recommendation for sound performance, but their cheaper fans are okay), even some bulk Cooler Master...
Well a lot more than the case is needed. Certainly a new power supply to run either of those cards.

CPU is quite light for such a high end GPU as well. What is your current monitor resolution and the games you want to play? You may be going overboard on the GPU unless you plan on spending a lot more on the rest of the system

Still, not going to be much bigger than ATX for $100. Meshify C is fine for most builds. Plenty of room for even very large GPUs, and plenty of air intake and cooling options.

Yeah I plan to spend more, I had a few people tell me a needed a bigger case but I had a rtx 2070 in it before and it was doing just fine so I might just keep this case, my only problem would be fans then, I need some more fans, nothing junky I want fans that will work properly. I had all the same specs with a rtx 2070. I plan to upgrade all my parts to better stuff but I plan to get a psu and gpu first.

Tested out a Cougar fan once, a few Scythes for various purposes. Just depends on the look and noise profile you are going for.

Phanteks F140MP have done a decent job for me. Not tried their 120mm version or non static pressure version though. Also a cheaper 3-pin case fan version.
My chassis has two 280mm radiators, one in push pull, so I just used 7 of the same fans. 4 as intake through a radiator, rear intake, and two for top exhaust. Gets the job done.
