I'm looking for a case for the system I'm building for a friend. The relevant parts I'm gonna be using are:
CPU: i5 8600k with possibility of slight overclock
GPU: GTX 1080 Ti
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Ultra gaming wifi
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 240mm AIO
Fans: 4 x Enermax T.B. RGB 120mm fans

I'm looking for a minimalist case in the $80 and under range with premium looks and features. In my own research I've come across the 275R and the H500. I like them both, but I want to know if one is definitively better than the other.

I know both come with a couple included fans, plus I'll have two included corsair fans from the AIO after I replace them with the Enermax fans, so fans are not an issue. I'd mount the radiator on the front as an intake for either case I think. For the NZXT, my other two Enermax fans would have to go on the rear and top, both as exhausts. In the 275R, however, there are two top fan mounts as well as the 120mm rear exhaust mount so I could include one of the non-rgb fans I have available in the mix.

I'm totally up for any suggestions as I'm not very knowledgeable on case airflow.
