I am a very big fan of the Cougar MX 330 line.  I was intrigued enough by the visuals online, and promised features at such a good price I bought one - would do again hands down.  Wonderful airflow, all the options, at the right price ($40 shipped) - can get different side panels too, either acrylic, tempered glass, or solid but with a intake side fan.

I am planning on cannibalizing my pre-built Omen PC and upgrading the case, mobo and power supply. Any Intel motherboards and case you guys recommend? Cases with good/great airflow would be appreciated since that’s what bothers me most about the the Omen one.

MOtherboard depends on a lot of factors, we need more info.

 

Cases... partial to Fractal Design stuff personally.

Fair point. My CPU is an i7-8700 and my GPU is an RTX 2080. I’d prefer a mid size chassis but I’ll compromise for better airflow.
