I am about to order all of my parts but have seen back and forth reviews about NZXT H510 should I go with it or not? If not recommend a better case

Imma just copy-paste my response from other NZXT H500 threads here:
NZXT's H500 series. They're a great chassis, with 2 major flaws:
1)Limited cooling options
2)This one plays right along with #1, in that both high power cpus and gpus can't be thermally managed well - it can do one or the other. For example, a 9900K + 2080Ti. A H700 would be better for that kind of combination.
The ideal way to use this chassis:
-if air cooling only, the stock config of top and rear exhaust is the best overall. The same applies to the H500 Elite which has its 2 fans preinstalled in the front.
-if introducing liquid coolers, the front should be saved for a 240/280mm to be used as pull intake on the hottest and most power-hungry part between the cpu and gpu, with the cooler device left to be cooled on air.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot that your parts list was set to private.

Your list is set to private.

Phaaze88 provides good advice.

The 500 series are well thought out from a builders perspective. Cable management is quite easy.

I am running a 3800x on a Corsair H60. The 120mm radiator exhaust and 140mm top fan are the only fans installed. My cpu will top out around 72C-75C and the Asus ROG 2070S tops out at 54C running Furmark a few times consecutively. While the Asus 2070S has a great heat sink it does show how good the airflow actually is in this case. The same gpu ran at 62C in a Corsair Carbide 100R case.

My pc is silent for general usage and only gets mildly audible during gaming sessions.

The 500 is a great case but is on the smaller side. I had to remove the HDD cage in order to have a place for the psu cables. If I had build another pc now the 500 series would be my first choice.

I see nothing wrong with the NZXT 510 case.
It allows 2 front 140mm intakes which should be sufficient for most components.
It can support a very good air cooler if that is what you need.
Aesthetics count, but YOU are the judge of that.

Post a list of parts that we can see.

When using front fans you interrupt the cases negative pressure design. It still functions but you will see an increase of gpu temps, just a few degrees so nothing major.
