What case should i get?

[SamHeen]

I have a Micro-ATX motherboard and a horrible airflow case so i might aswell get a better one. Should i get a Micro ATX case or a Micro ATX compatible ATX case for airflow reasons? What i’m asking is are bigger cases better for airflow and cooling?

no don't think so, unless sli

Whichever you prefer really. Just get a full mesh front panel case as a start and go from there. The q300l doesn't count as half of it's front is metal due to the wide spacing between the holes.

ok so there aren’t really any problems with getting a bigger case like dust or something

so which one do you think is better? Phanteks Eclipse P360A or Lian Li Lancool II Mesh or Corsair Obsidian Series 4000X RGB?

Maybe look at the 4000D or 5000D. All the cases you listed are great cases and will perform pretty much equally good or close (if the obsidian is your pick make sure it is the mesh one which is the D model not the X).

 

Dust will happen either way nothing to do about that.

yes they are but you are going to have to go bigger to notice a difference. i have an ATX board and went from a mid tower case where even with the side panel off my temps were in the mid to upper 50s at idle. i switched cases to a super tower case completely closed with less fans and my temps are in the upper 20s lower 30s. 

 

look into the fractal design meshify series of cases. depending on what your current case is, i would look at a mid to full tower for the mATX board you have.
