Air-cooling for ATX case. Plus, I need advice!

After a bit of consideration & discussion with various people over the last few months, I have decided that I will most likely build my own pc from scratch rather than chancing to buy a custom computer & risk something going wrong during the build process. Such as poor QC & what have you. Anyhow, I could use a little bit of advice on a few things & I would appreciate any opinions you might have to offer!

 

In a nutshell, I do know the ideal specs that I'll be going with. But I've hit a roadblock in the midst of choosing my parts/components (I haven't build it yet. For right now, I'm in the process of pairing parts together to see how much it would cost me total.): I've heard high praise coming from some people who use certain case brands & I do understand that each person's need are totally different. But as for choosing the case, that would work for me & something that I would like- I'm finding this part of the process VERY tricky. I do know I'll need a case that can support an ATX motherboard as that is what I'll be going with. As the title does point out, I am going to go with an air-cooling solution. 1 requirement I do have for the case is I prefer there to be 3 fans in the front, 1 in the back & with options for top & bottom fans. RGB isn't a must, but it would be a nice touch.

 

So I'd like to hear your thoughts & recommendations for my dilemma. Which brand should I go with that will keep my case & components very cool under any tasks? Something with quite good to impressive build quality & that will suit me. Also, do you think I should have fans on both the top & bottom of the case for great cooling? And finally, depending on what I go with, should I swap out the "not so great stock fans" for something that offers better cooling? 1 other thing to know about the build: I won't be doing any overclocking whatsoever!

 

I hope someone can give me some great tips & pointers on this as it will be my 1st EVER build! Thank you for your time & for reaching out! If you need any details or have any questions for me, just drop me a line & I'll do my best to get back to you! Kyle.

I've actually been on Pcpartpicker before, I just haven't finished putting together my buld. Maybe it might be easier (I hope) if I did the case last?

Fractal Design Meshify is one suggestion if you want a case with good airflow.
