I am thinking of getting a NZXT H440 but would it have enough airflow to keep cool in the Australian summers, other cases I'm looking at are the Corsair Air 540.

Corsair Carbide Air 540 is one of the best case you can get on the market. Cooler-Master HAF Stacker 935 (or 945 adding a 915) is my favorite for having more room to use

Would paying $180ish to much to pay for the Air 540

Welcome to the forum! Please remember to follow your topics!

Both of those cases are pretty expensive, consider something cheaper like the CM haf 912, it has good airflow and doesn't look too bad either. You can use the spared money to go for some better parts in your pc :)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Unfortunatly I have to agree with Sauron even he sounds like the most evil person on the planet. HAF 912 is the cheapeast of the HAF family but HAF stands for High Air Flow and when you look at the case it's obvious.

I'm into more of a minimalist approach to things instead of an aggressive look can you help me find a cheaper minimalist case and my budget is $1000-$1500 I already have a mechanical keyboard and mouse.

1000$ is a whole ton of money for a computer chassis, is that a typo or what?

Anyway, Silverstone cases are specifically designed with airflow in mind, original concepts and, apparently, very good temperature results. Hope this helps. :)

Not silent unless you run the fans on low, but the air 540 has amazing airflow and cable management.

Silverstone cases, specifically the RV05, FT05 and FT02 are outstanding at air cooling and looking great. I myself have an RV05 and @spwath has an FT05, and I can say it's an outstanding case, especially with its size as well.

Make sure you get a modular PSU, as for me it was really hard without one
