Hello. Long story short I really need a case which would support the system in terms of Airflow and space.
Looking to get something from NZXT. If you know some good cases from other companies it would be much appreciated.

The System:
GPU: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-GTX-1070-ARMOR-8G-OC/Specification (Super long, LOL)
CPU: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/dp/B06XNRQHG4
RAM: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/mem...2400mhz-c16-memory-kit-red-cmk8gx4m1a2400c16r (2x8)
PSU: https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-Platinum-SSR-550PX-Modular-Warranty/dp/B074N8YBK9?th=1
MB: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350M-GAMING-PRO/Specification
HDD 1TB
SSD: Looking to throw in this one aswell: https://www.samsung.com/lt/memory-storage/nvme-ssd/980-pro-pcle-4-0-nvme-m-2-ssd-1tb-mz-v8p1t0bw/

Like I said I need a case in terms of Airflow and space. All your suggestions will be much appreciated.
Feel free to suggest another brand cases if you have something in mind.
Thanks in advance.
 
Well, you are buying a PCIe 4.0 capable drive for a system only capable of getting you to PCIe 3.0. Nothing wrong with that, I have done the same. But I also plan to keep my 2TB drive for a good while. You can save a bit by looking at the 970 Evo model, maybe even get to 2TB for about the same.

Do you want a mid-tower (ATX) or do you want to stick with Micro ATX?

NZXT H5 Flow would seem to be a good choice. Pricing goes up from there with RGB fans and the like included.

Phanteks and Fractal Design offer similar chassis that you might find appealing.

Lian Li is another pretty good brand. Corsair has a few good models.

Is that a Micro ATX motherboard? Some so-called "Micro ATX" cases are as large as a typical full ATX case....often 17 inches or even 18 inches in at least 1 dimension. That may or may not matter to you.

I'd go to Newegg and use their sort feature to locate a good case. You can include or exclude glass panels, DVD drive mounts, etc.
