Looking to spend $60-$80 on a new case.
Been looking at and interested in the Corsair Carbide 275r, NZXT H500(non-i), CM Master Box Pro5 also TD500.
There is more I was looking at too but don't feel like looking around again for the model names.

Pretty much asking if anyone has experience with a case that they would recommend. Air flow, cable management, options & features etc.
I have a r9 290x and a Cooler Master 212 CPU heatsink/fan, that's all that needs to fit really.

Just make sure you get a case that has dust filters on the intakes.

H500 is beautiful and very friendly
Comes with 2 exhaust fan and 3 intake filter
Cable management was a breeze

I have the i version but i think its the same case minus the led and vertical gpu mount

Thanks for the replies, I'll probably go with the NZXT H500 in white. I like the simplistic look of it.

And yeah it's the same as the i version without the led, rgb controller and vertical mount.

Looks awesome, the vertical mount is cool looking. Seems the glass would impact air flow though?
I'm gonna get some of these Arctic F12 fans in white to go with the case. A pack of 5 is only $20

Havent noticed any difference on temp except 2-3 fps drop from the riser i guess
Stock fan are pretty good tbh, get 2x 120 or 140mm for the front and youre set

Just built in the 275r Newegg edition, only gripe would be that it requires an allen key to take the tempered glass on and off.
