Looking to get a new case but not entirely sure what to pick. Cases is one of the things I don't actively follow. I'm looking for an ATX or something that can fit MSI Z270 M5 plus a gigabyte geforce gtx 1080. Budget £0-150. I really preference getting bang for buck. Space for storage drives, PSU, plenty of space for fan mounting, etc, the better.

Bang for the buck airflow cases:

 

Cougar MX330 (No front fans, but full mesh, super cheap)

Phantkes P300A (good build quality for price, compact, no front fans)

Fractal Design Focus G (multiple color options, two front fans, lacks good cable management)

Coolermaster NR600 (Good build quality, no front fans)

Coolermaster Masterbox MB511 RGB (Decent build quality, three front fans, pricier)

Phanteks P400A RGB or ARGB (see MB511 RGB)

Hello. Appreciate the response.

Was looking at the P400A already, it looks very nice, very tempted. Not seen the Lian Li but really like it as well.

The O11D was case of the year 2018. Layout is unique (not competently new, but much different than the traditional layout) it too comes with no fans, but if you put in your own it makes for a very compelling system. It does tend to be over 100 usd/euros/pounds so I personally didnt list it (bang for buck wise it isnt as good as some others), but it's a stunning case nonetheless
