Hey guys i picked a few cases but i can't decide which one should i take maybe your opinion will make my choice easier. I'd like to keep my budget under 100 dollars if you have any new proposition . And Case Height must be under 500 MM it would be nice if we keep it under 480 MM

My future rig specs :
MOBO: B450 Tomahawk Max
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
Cpu Cooler : SPC Fortis 3 159 MM Height (Probably you don't know what it is but it's a preety decent and cheap cooler at least in my country)
GPU :Rx 5700 XT Nitro+/Red Devil / Rtx 2070 Super MSI Gaming X Trio (Amd is more likely)
PSU: RMx 650 W / Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650W don't know yet (I know it's a little overkill but it's only a few bucks more)
1x SSD SATA 3
1x HDD

My Picks
Fractal Design Meshify C
be quiet! Pure Base 600 (Don't like the fact that PSU isn't hidden) , Pure Base 500
Phanteks P350X , P400S
NZXT H500 (Don't like the looks of it but if it's worth it )

//Added that my GPU won't be reference , And mobo will be new MAX

Solution
Meshify C will have better airflow characteristics, which you're probably going to want if you go with that AMD card since it runs hotter than the Nvidia alternatives.

The full open mesh front panel design of the Meshify is going to be a lot more conducive to getting good airflow through the case, so long as you understand that you are going to want to add a few more fans in addition to what it comes with (True for pretty much ALL cases).

These others, have seriously restricted front panels. Better even still, considering you want good ariflow to get through to that cooler, which in fact IS fairly decent.

From what I’ve seen be quiet cases are hot.
Biased but I’d go H500. I have a H200i and the cable Management is a godsend.
Also you know that board will need a BIOS update to work with that CPU right?

I did some more research and i think im gonna go with Meshify C but i would like you guys to recommend me some decent fans .
I'm thinking about buying 2xPure Wings 2 140MM PWM and adding them to front and mounting one spare fan from case to the top exhaust .
Will this be a good idea or should i buy more expensive ones ? I don't care that much about silence since im wearing headphones
 
Yes, the P400A is an option as well. It has good airflow from a full mesh front panel, BUT, I don't think the rest of it's features, or lack of them, are nearly as good as the Meshify C. All of the P400 cases are somewhat narrow with very little room behind the motherboard tray for drives or cable management. They also only support coolers up to 160mm, which excludes a lot of coolers although his Fortis 3 at 158mm should be fine, but if he ever decides to change coolers for whatever reason, that could be an undesirable limitation.

Still, it's definitely worth considering.
