The MC500 is a slightly updated version of the Master case 5. Personally out of all the choices listed, the MC500 is the best in both airflow and features. It's build quality is slightly less than the NZXT or Corsair cases, but it's no less easy to work in (cable management for example)

 

If the MC500 is super expensive and the Master Case 5 is a lower price, you could go for that too. The airflow would be exactly the same.

- NZXT H500

- Corsair Carbide 275R

 

Which one would you pick and why?

 

I'm mainly looking for airflow

 

Thank you

I don't like either xD 

Have you considered the Fractal Design Define R6 w/ window ?

 

keeps the good looks
is built like a tank
still has good airflow

If you are mainly looking for airflow, why are you looking at cases with closed off front panels?

If you're looking for airflow, neither; get an Enthoo Pro M or Meshify C. Of those two the H500 is the better of them

Budget and country? Is it possible to purchase the case online? 

 

Also planned system build would be helpful too.

Mexico, $1500 MXN for the case (roughly like 80 USD)

 

Buying online goes over that amount (shipping + duty fee)

Would they happen to have any cases from Coolermaster, Corsair, Thermaltake, etc? 

 

Case with a front mesh panel will give you best airflow if that's your main concern.
