Is this an okay case? (Cooler Master MasterBox E501L)

Hi, so I'm on a tight budget and I was wondering if you guys can help me determine if the 'Cooler Master MasterBox E501L' is a good case for my components (in terms of air flow - don't care too much about noise)

I have an i5 2500k which is cooled by an M9i (not overclocked) and an GTX 960 - the clearances are fine btw.

Link for the case: https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-e501l/

Thanks in advance

btw, the only reason i'm getting this case is because it's the cheapest at my local shop. It's $80 NZD which is about $48 USD

it is an "okay" case, yes. I would suggest removing the restrictive mesh from behind the front grille if you do buy it because that will choke the fans out

Okay, thanks so much

That's a dust filter that I instead recommend to keep in place and clean regularly.

But to each its own.
