How are thermals with a NZXT H510i thermals with a RTX 2060 and Ryzen 5 3600?

I really love the look of the NZXT H510i case, but I am really worried about thermals. Would a RTX 2060 along with a Ryzen 5 3600 (air cooling) be fine, or should I find another case? If so what are similar looking cases for around the same price?

Really you should only buy the case for its clean design, but the thermals aren't too bad, just aren't great. a rtx 2060 (Get a rx 5700!) and a r 5 3600 should be fine in the case, if not slightly choked. You might want to a another case fan (or a few).

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Thanks! I think I’ll buy the case plus another fan. As for the rx 5700 I’ve heard they run a little faster, but they are hotter.  I went with the 2060 because RTX voice sounds really intriguing, plus I get “Real time” Ray Tracing.

Well you're buying into the first generation with the slowest available RTX card, so I wouldn't get too excited about ray tracing there, but the card in general is pretty good regardless. I think next generation of cards will have much better ray tracing performance (Nvidia and AMD alike), but that is just speculation of course. In any case you can always sell a 1 year old card very well for a good price and get a cheap(-ish) upgrade in the future that way.

That’s very good to note. Thanks.
