the only thing id change would be takeing out the wifi card because its a pice of garbage that nobody should ever touch with anything but a very fast moveing slege hammer. i have the Define C and the vents on the side are actiually much better then i first thought and the top opens for more air flow if you care for it

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

The case should be fine for AF. 

As for improvements to the build, it depends on your use case. Ryzen might be better. You might also not need 32GB RAM. 

You can get a cheaper SSD. The SL308 is very decent, and costs a bit less. 

You might want a 7200 RPM HDD instead of the 5900 RPM one. 

The Seasonic G series PSU is fairly good, but you should be able to get a better one for around the same price.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hbPNCy are there any improvements that I can make? I'm mainly worrying about if the case is good enough for airflow and if not, what other case would you recommend?

The case is very good, but it's now offered in Tempered Glass!

Better wirless card

Your case comes with two fans. The third is unneccesary

 

16gb of ram is enough, 32 isnt needed

The motherboard is mATX, the case ATX. The motherboard will look a little small in the case. Two possible solutions. Get an ATX motherboard, perhaps one with onboard WiFi like ASRock Z270 Killer SLI/ac. Or get the mATX version of the case, perhaps the tempered glass model, Fractal Design Define Mini C TG.

but would it be better than the define c?

They are very similar cases. The Define C should be a touch quieter. The Enthoo Pro M is larger and a little more configurable.
