Both are decent. 

I would lean over to the focus g. 

If you're not limited to these options. Consider the p300a and the p400a.

The second one listed. Most people (probably including you and I . Will not need 2 disk bays. So I would not go with the fractal design one but with the Corsair.

Agreed, I would also go with the Corsair, but personally in black, not a fan of the white case buts that’s down to personnal taste.

I'll most likely go for fractal, its actually really cheap!

 

not sure i'll find a decent/good case for that price tbh. But I'll check for more options.

I personally went with the cooler master master box q300l I got it for $40 , it is mATX though. I don’t know what you are doing (probably full atx) but it has a nice design and it can be oriented many ways and the mesh filters moved any way you would like.

More than fine. One of the better cases.

So if your interested in a “budget build” of about ~$500-600 then my list is the way to go. Or something around they’re. But if you already have parts on the way or shipping of have better parts already then ignore my comments completely.

dunno, never heard of the brand. I dont know fully about how good computers are let alone cases. 

A case is case. you can use the cardboard boxes that the parts come in if you want to. It maybe off band but it checks all the boxes.

good air flow

looks decent

room to expand.

great price

 

not the best "review" video but you can see more of the layout.

I would probably get the Fractal Design case out of the two, i don't think the corsair case is particularly good looking from a design perspective.

I have the corsair case and my temps are under 80 while gaming with the stock cooler on the ryzen 5 2600, and it does look very nice. If you can afford it i would recommend getting it since it is quite expensive for a computer case.
