PC Case and Fans decisions.

[6R1M01R3]

Greetings.
I want to ask for your opinions and recommendations about PC cases and fans, currently I've narrowed down to 3 PC cases that are available to my budget and in my location.
Deep Cool D-Shield V2
Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Lite
Cooler Master MB600L
The CM cases are on sale and looks great so that got me interested. As for the fans, I was thinking about CM Masterfan 120R since they are cheap but I think those are kinda loud? and Cougar CFD 120/140 that are quieter but cost a bit more. So thinking which of those 3 cases has better airflow, and since they have dust filters in the front, if it was better to use 2x 140mm or 3x 120mm. Airflow, static pressure. Also the CPU cooler will be the MasterAir MA410P, that is also on sale and cheaper than the only 212x available here.

Aim at 140mm fans, they shift more air with less noise than 120mm parts.
How much you spend on fans will depend on your budget and how quiet you want the system to be, high quality, quiet fans tend to cost more than low quality, noisy ones.
The Noctua Redux series are a good compromise between noise, cost and flow, although their choice of colours isn't always appealing.

I agree, bigger are better. I just glanced the cases and they look decent. Maybe someone has the more definitive answer you are looking for. But realistically in that price range, most quality cases with decent fans will be very close. A case review with only stock fans is one thing. If you are going to add 3-4 of your own you are going to have good air flow. Unless you need to squeeze every degree and decibel out of it you can. I would just go with what you like.
