I currently have a DIY BG-01 and I personally think it's a hot box. I could be wrong, but it has shit air intake. If you agree please comment. Anyways because of this I am looking at the following cases below:

 

Fractal design Meshify C @ $90

Coolermaster NR600 @ $70

NZXT H510 @ $70

 

I am personally looking for something with optimal airflow and prefer to put argb fans in the front which I can't do with the NZXT case. Thoughts?

Coolermaster MB511 (non RGB), so you can put our own ARGB fan set in. Otherwise they have an RGB version for about $25 more.

Phanteks Eclipse P400A, has both a non Digital RGB and Digital RGB variants. 

 

Some other spitball ideas

Metallic Gear Neo Air

Thermaltake Versa J24 Tempered Glass (differnet RGB options)

Thermaltake Commander Series (C31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) Basically an ARGB Mastercase H500

Thanks for the help guys. I like the MB511 RGB since I wouldn't have to buy my own ARGB fans which would drop be another $35 or so. I think it would be between that and the meshify c. Hopefully this keeps my Red Dragon 5700xt cool and quiet. It's running at 80 gpu temp/100 junction at the moment under high gaming loads and is loud as heck
