I need help finding a new case, i will attach a photo of my current one. It will need good airflow or would it be the time to move to custom water cooling because i will probably need to buy new fans and a new radiator for my cpu or else itll look really weird. i currently dont have a problem with aesthetics since my current case does not have a tempered glass side, i have the Corsair Carbide Series 100R Silent Edition. my current temps running at stock are about 70-80 'C during 1440p gaming max everything. What are some good case suggestions and should i make my move to custom water cooling?

Nzxt h510 or deepcool matrexx 50 both for around 60 bucks in the US I would suggest water cooling for builds with 2080ti's or multi gpu systems but for a normal system with a 1080ti just get one of those 2 cases and slap some fans in there and u will be good

its 2x 1080Ti and i am running an 8086k but cant really overclock too much without crazy thermals. the H510 is a bit small and not enough airflow for the intake, same with the deepcool. id also prefer a case with a mesh filter. thanks though

Something like a p400a for an atx build

For airflow it is exceptional

I was actually looking at the p400a but it was sold out last time I checked. I'll look into it again

I run the p400s and the p400tg. Neither of mine have the front mesh panel but I still love the case. Tons of room for large gpus but for water cooling, the rad would have to go on the front panel. It's to tight at the top for a rad.

If you can't fine the p400a 

The p300a is still a contender 

It's basically the same but it just comes with one less fan
