Suggestions for budget build cheap 150$ mid tower case

[sahildale]

My budget gaming build will include ryzen 5 2600, gigabyte 2060 gaming oc pro and atx mobo. I need a good airflow case (dust filters will also be good else I'll buy and install them myself). I won't be using any hdd, ssd or optical drives, just only m.2 ssd. Will prioritise case with big side fan in middle as fan setup i am planning is one front intake one side intake and one rear exhaust for positive air pressure.

Not sure since when 150$ cases are considered cheap, but take a look at O-11 dynamic (non Airflow).

It's definitely not your standard case, and you'd have to re-think your fan setup. But when it comes to airflow it it's pretty high up.

Well where i live we have to pay 150$ for a 30$ case (DIYPC Alnitak-BK) cos of vat duty and shipping so that's cheap in your context not mine 

Will side fans improve cooling if fan setup used is one front intake one side intake and one rear exhaust

Well side intake would blow directly into cpu, if we're speaking about the same side intake. Then yeah, it would definitely help with CPU temps at least.

 

If prices are so absurd, then I'm not even sure if you can find a case with dust filters.

What about gpu it has 3 fans, will its temperature have any effect 

Can't i use dust filters myself

You can use dust filters yourself. 

Side fan might help slighlty with GPU temps, by reducing ambient case temp. But you'll win more by dedicating one fan for cpu and another for gpu.

 

If your GPU placement will be like this 
Front: Below GPU, to deliver airflow to GPU

Side: Fan placed directly towards CPU cooler.

Back: can't really adjust its position, so wherever it fits.

 

That would be the most optimal setup for case like that I believe.

Does this case have that properties

From what it seems side fan is below GPU as well, and front fan can be positioned below gpu only as well. Which potentially may leave CPU with bad temps.

Fuck the budget then what about this one

If its also not good then suggest that case which meets the requirements u wrote

Now lets get some things straight. If there's any particilar reason why you'd want side intake? Or you just want case with good airflow?

I want good airflow for low temperatures that's why side fan

Is rosewill Thor v2 not good?

I think this thread is going too long thanks for being so patient with me 

Just say the best case in ur opinion and I'll choose ur answer as best and close the post

Okay, now we're up to something. Side fans are pretty rare these days tbh.
Silverstone RL06 is really good case for temps out of the box. It's relatively noisy, so that's something to consider.

You can read gamers nexus review on rosewill Thor v2 if you want too. I gazed at it a bit, and it seemed like it lacked in thermals.

The Fractal Design Meshify C is one of the best cases for airflow I've personally ever used. Side fans aren't really a thing anymore and most older cases that have them are pretty pricey if you're able to find a new one. The Meshify C White is on sale on Amazon for $85 USD. Don't know what country you're in but It's a good case and you should definitely check it out, you do have to buy some extra fans to fill it up but the stock fans for the case are nice and super quiet for pretty cheap if you want to get extras. The black varients of the Meshify C are I think anywhere between $100 and $120, while the Meshify S2s are in the $170 range so they're a little pricey.

Side panels with fans seems to rare these days for newer case designs. I think something that can fit 2 or 3 intake fans with a mesh directly in front of the fans, 1 top exhaust fan and 1 rear exhaust is good enough for most situations. I wish cases with vertical GPU mounts had ventilation right where the GPU fans would be.

Yup it is the best airflow case there for the price (250$ in India rather than 100$ anywhere) but as I'll be building for the first time will cable management be difficult for me

Also my mobo has 4 system fan headers and case also comes with 4 fans what if i add one more exhaust fan at top, will the temperature improve

Cable management will definitely take time. Get some extra either velkro straps or zip ties, comes a long way.

Well not sure about extra fan at the top. Impact should be negligible.

I just built an R5 2600 in a Thermaltake H15 case

Seems to have enough airflow
