New case for new system

Wyndmere

Hello guys, i'm gonna build a new gaming system with an R5 1600, 1 SSD and 1 HDD. Airflow might be important for me because it gets very hot where i live. I have these options for the case:

 

NZXT S340
Cooler Master MasterBox 5
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M
Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass

 

Price is the same for all of these so it is not a factor (maybe a bargain factor :P). Thanks in advance!

The Masterbox 5 will have the better airflow due to a mesh front, however, I do consider the other cases to be a better value at the same price point as they come with additional features, but whether those are worth it is up to you.

I'd go with the Meshify C personally. It's like the Enthoo Pro M, but more efficient in space. Had it been out when I built this system, it had been my pic no question.

My build is fairly basic as i'll have one GPU, one SSD and one HDD without any RBG craze. The Masterbox does not have place for a top fan and is the ugliest of the bunch :P. Don't know if not having ventilation and space on the top for a fan will heat things up.

Out of all of these cases (since you're prioritizing performance) I'd get the master box. Not having a top fan shouldn't be an issue if you have the rear exhaust fan going and an air cooler.

Do you think the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M lags much behind? Because i think it is a good middle ground between looks and performance.

Not really. I personally consider it one of my first choices when it comes to recommending cases (specifically the TG version, but with the small window or big acrylic window are just as good, only difference is the side panel) Although technically the Masterbox does edge in out in terms of airflow because the top portion is also mesh (whereas the Enthoo pro M is not) it's otherwise a very solid case, better internally and probably easier to build in.
