If you're after the best air cooling case possible, then you'll need to get the silverstone raven 5 or fortress 5. They're proven to be the best air cooling cases on the market, swiftly followed by the silverstone fortress 2. Even the corsair air 540 isn't as good as these three.

 

Beat me to it again.

Do that.

which one is the better one?

As in? Which of the silverstone cases is better? The FT05 and RV05 are identical besides the exterior so get the same temperatures.

The air 540 will have far better cable management, more space for drives and more space overall, but at the cost of temperatures.

Air 540 is nice and all, but if you really want to move loads of air you just can't beat a HAF X. 

Screw those tiny front fans, if you really want to cool your GPU, nothing comes close to a 200mm right next to it.

There are plenty of cases with great airflow but which is most suitable will depend on the system components. 

Can you list your specs and temps?

Sorry for the late reply--the tab was buried in my phone.

Adding a bottom fan for intake should help with better cooling the graphics card.
