My build:

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor  ($329.00 @ B&H) 
Motherboard: MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($114.89 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory  ($77.99 @ Amazon)

Now: I am torn between NZXT H500 and CM NR600 case.

I prefer looks of NZXT, but CM has better CPU temps. Based on what Ryzen 3700x owners say, it reaches high temperatures(even up to 90 C).

 

Do you guys think better airflow/cooling is necessary with my CPU/GPU setup or can I afford worse airflow?

 

PS Already did my research, watched dozens of yt vids, gamer nexus reviews etc. Still cant make my mind.

Thanks.

The H500 has zero airflow, scratch it off your list

It's very important

if you like the looks of the h500, then look at the h700.  little bit bigger but much better airflow
