looking for a pc case (pls help in so lost)

[cheersalt1]

Hello, I am going to upgrade my pc to make it as quiet as possible. I have a rtx 3080 and an intel I9 12900kf. Ive been thinking about getting an arctic freezer ii 420mm or maybe a 360mm. I want a case under about 200 aud.

Does anyone have any suggestions on one thats quiet and has good thermals and fits my radiator.

thanks!!!

Thank you!!!

just to be sure, a 360mm arctic freezer is enough for a 12th gen i9 right?

better to be safe with a 420 LF3 ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 72.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (ACFRE00137A) - PCPartPicker

If your case you've picked can't fit it then a 360 LF3 will do good, better than an LF2

You'll be fine with a 360 AIO.

I’ve been doing some research and that case seems pretty loud…

For 30 aud more the LF3 is worth it

Really? I'm on a tight budget.

also:

---Update----

I have been doing many more hours of research and have found the fractal meshify 2, it looks like exactly what I want but it's too expensive.

does anyone know where I can find a cheaper one?

dosnet matter if its new or not.
