Hey guys. I am building a pc and I cannot decide what case to get. I am in between Nzxt H510 and Fractal Design Meshify C light tg. At the moment I only plan on using the stock fan configuration on both.
My parts are: ryzen 5 2600
msi gaming x gtx 1660
g skil trident z rgb 16gb

I know the Meshify C has a better airflow but I really like the design of the H510. Will the temperatures be bad on the h510 with just the stock fans and stock cpu cooler?

I don't see any problem using an H510 with your current configuration.
The problem comes in when you want to install a beefier gpu inside; that's where temps can become a problem - for the gpu.
From the current generation of gpus, you would have to avoid RX 5700XT, 2070 Super or greater.

I have a NZXT H500 with i7 9700 ang RTX 2070 SUPER. CPU was UP to 74c and GPU 69c. I wanted to get the temperatur down to under 70c so i bought a Master Cooler H500(thers a lot of H500 out ther) with front mesh and a better airflow.
Guess what? I get about the same temperatur on the MC as the NZXT.

Id say buy the one you fancy the most. Worst "case" 😉😎😁 you can buy a new one move over all the parts and sell the other. You will lose some $ but atleast youv tried and learnd something maybe.
