Current pc as above. Planning to get a 3080FE if they ever get available or go with AMD. So case has to fit these in and the arctic liquid freezer II 280 all in one cpu cooler.

 

Motherboard is ATX size.

 

My preferences are in this order:

Case as small as possible (i suppose mid tower)

To have usb c port and usb 3.2 port in front.

Tempered glass preferred 

And if it's well silenced then even better  

 

Budget is £80-120(£138 max)

 

Any opinions? I like MSI one but mixing msi and asus feels strange.

maybe the be quiet silent base 802 (with airflow front panel) or pure base 500DX

I don't really know the prices in the US, but here are some recommendations:

Classic, timeless, no or not much RGB: Fractal Design.

High airflow (good airflow -> low fan RPM -> low noise):
Fractal Design Meshify Series

(Meshify 2) Don't pick dark tempered glass. It's bad to see through.

Noise dampening and medium airflow:

Fractal Design Define Series (I use the Define R6, there is the R7 now).
You can swap between HDD cage and open layout for better airflow and more GPU clearance and bigger radiators.

(Define 7, Define 7 Compact, ...)

High airflow and RGB:

Phanteks Eclipse Series

(For example: Eclipse P400A)

 

Medium airflow, RGB and good looking:
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass

As for case???

I would recommend the Lian Li LanCool II Mesh (either one is up to you. 

Like you I needed room for 6 drives. Granted mine are 3 SSDs and 3 HDDs. 

But they all fit, and I have good air flow. It should fit your budget if you can find it. It took me a couple of months before I could find one in stock.
