Those would be the cases I'd recommend for the NH-D15. 

 

If you went a 240mm AIO, you might be able to use the NZXT H500 (Black/Red) but you'd get slightly warmer GPU temps as a result.

 

The SPEC-04 has a CPU cooler height limit of 150mm (surprisingly short) so it wouldn't fir the NH-D15

Hey guys, I'm looking for a case that had good airflow but somewhat budget. Not looking to go over 100$. This is my PC Part Picker. For cooling, I'm currently stuck between a Noctua Air Cooler or a 240mm AIO. I looked at the [CORSAIR Carbide SPEC-04 Mid-Tower Gaming Case, Tempered Glass- Red] for 60$ and was wondering if this is a good case. If not, I'm looking for a case that has either RGB or Red/White or Red/Black. Thanks!

Sorry, I have a Z370 Prime A ordered, but forgot to update. Also one of the reasons about whether to go noctua or AIO for color.

 

AIO for color? You mean put Noctua fans on an AIO? Because thats a good choice.

If you want airflow, the Fractal Design Meshify C is the way to go. Great case for building in, has a ton of ventilation.
