This is my fist time building a pc and I chose, core i7-8700k, Gigabyte z370 AORUS Gaming 5, Geforce GTX 1070 Founders Edition, Cooler Master Masterbox Pro 5, 16 GB of DDR4 2400 Ram, and a 650w psu.

I am worried about the cooling for the casey. Any suggestions on how to cool it?

Make sure to balance pressure. For example don't put 3 high pressure 120mm fans on front and 120mm static fan at the back. Put 2 fans on front and 1 on the back and you're set.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

The case has intake fan mounts, but the front is just hard plastic. No air can get through.

 

Except for the vents on the bottom.

 

(Excuse the double post.)

Rly? Hmm, it looked to me as if there are intake holes going from top to bottom on the sides of the front plastic.

 

Then what is even the point of having 3 fans with no intake, I would look for other options with better fan config.

IF you're brave, you could try DIY'ing some side ventilation, otherwise I'd just try and get a different case.
