Hi

Im looking for a budget case with the best air flow possible for the budget , some people recommended me the Focus G and the Cooler Master NR600. 

what do you guys think or do you have any personal suggestions? I'm planning ofcourse to add extra fans to what ever case I'm getting cause I'm gonna stick with the stock cooler for my Ryzen 5 3600

They only cost around $50

@AMD1234 I should've specified I really don't care about aesthetics , I much prefer to pay for better cooling and better airflow instead of RGB. the 1st one seems too closed off for airflow

But the NR600 has a spot for one more fan in the front thus allowing more airflow , 3 in take fans in the front 2 exhaust on top and 1 exhaust in the back. Idk I saw a Gamers Nexus video saying its the best budget option.

NZXT H510, it's 70 dollars and it's a great case, it's completely made of steel, has a tempered glass panel and front USB C, the airflow is decent in the stock configuration, at least for the GPU

Main PC [The Rig of Theseus]:

CPU: i5-8600K @ 5.0 GHz | GPU: GTX 1660 | RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic | PSU: Corsair RM 650i | SSD: Corsair MP510 480 GB |  HDD: 2x 6 TB WD Red| Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

 

Secondary PC [Why did I bother]:

CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G | GPU: Vega 3 iGPU | RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Corsair 88R | PSU: Corsair VS 650 | SSD: WD Green M.2 SATA 120 GB | Motherboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

 

Server [Solution in search of a problem]:

Model: HP DL360e Gen8 | CPU: 1x Xeon E5-2430L v1 | RAM: 12 GB DDR3 1066 MHz | SSD: Kingston A400 120 GB | OS: VMware ESXi 7

Sony SAL-75300 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6

Meike MK-50mm ƒ/1.7

 

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

That is good too but it is slightly out of your price range but it seems like airflow is pretty important to you so why not

Yea it's 75 euros and focus g is 65, so not much difference there, I don't know. Kinda confused actually. But the nr600 is a much newer case, also can put more fans so kinda leaning towards it. This is my first build so not really an expert when it comes to this stuff but I did some research and I need good airflow to go with the stock amd heat sink. Not gonna overclock or anything but I'd like it to last a couple of years.
