I'm in the market for a new case for my system and I am torn between 

A) Fractal design define r6 

B) Thermal take core p5

C) cooler master H500p mesh

What would you recommend 

(Using Asus prime b350 mobo and corsair Rm650x please also be aware that this is my first step in upgradingmy complete system)

I can get a define r6 delivered by 10am Tuesday morning

I'd probably go with that then.The H500P Mesh will have better airflow but the R6 is a more quality case overall

What are the rest of your specs and what are you looking for in a case?

My ideal case would be

Wall mounted, have good air flow, large capacity for hdd/ssd, and a power supply basement with good cable management

 

I am currently running AMD A10-9700 @ 4.1 ghz. 32gb 2400mhz ddr4. 5×500gb 2.5 ssd. 500 960 pro m.2 ssd.  3x12tb ironwolf pro hdd.  Coolermaster ml240 AIO. Gigabyte GTX 1050

What about the Cooler Master MasterCase 5 Pro? 

I've got the non pro one and it's a beast. 

 

The reason I suggest the pro version is because it comes with 5 HDD bays. But more can be added thanks to its modular design. Those bays are also compatible with SSDs. 

The case also has space for 4 SSD pockets if you don't want to occupy the HDD bays. 2 are included, more can be purchased separately. 

 

Airflow is also great thanks to the mesh front cover. 

Cable management is a breeze. There's a ton of space behind the motherboard tray.

If you want a wall mounted case, I'm not sure what to recommend besides the Core P5. The case doesn't have many 2.5" mounts but those can be mounted just about any where with some Velcro or adhesive. 

If that's not a requirement and you'd rather prioritize airflow, you could go with the PM01: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ryKhP6/silverstone-sst-pm01br-w-atx-mid-tower-case-sst-pm01br-w
