Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! I am looking for help to choose the best case within my budget, which is 25 thousand Argentine pesos. I am looking for something with great airflow. Currently, I have a pure base 500 which was the worst purchase I made this year, but luckily I already put it on sale. I hope you can help me find a decent alternative that will last me at least three years. I attach links to stores and a link to a hardware search engine in my country. Thank you very much in advance. Best regards.

Edit: I forgot to mention this, the only drawback when looking for a case is my power supply which is 200mm.

Hi @xilolee
Thank you very much, but I have a 226 xt heatsink that will not fit in that case.

All sites in my country that have the following logo are trustworthy, so the site is legit.

Check this one: DIYPC Solo-T2-BK Black USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case with 2 x Blue Fans (1 x 120mm LED fan x front, 1x120mm fan x rear) Pre-installed - Computer Case - Products

Max GPU Length Allowance: 375 mm
Max CPU Cooler Height Allowance: 160 mm
Dimensions (H x W x D): 16.92" x 8.20" x 17.20"
(430mm x 208mm x 437mm)

They don't put the maximum psu length, but you can send them an email.
Pcpartpicker.com says it is compatible with a psu whose length is 200mm.
It seems they can send it to argentina.
 
I found the Thermaltake V150 ARGB Breeze Edition case, but it doesn't quite convert me because the top is not fully open. I also found the core p3 at a good price, but it is totally closed.

Edit: According to what I have been seeing, the core p3 is not totally closed, erratum.

I have an m-atx board with a r5 3600. I am still looking at more to see if I can find better options. Thank you very much. Best regards.
 
Maybe you found your case!

The specs of Thermaltake V150 ARGB Breeze say:
- CPU cooler height limitation: 155mm
- VGA length limitation: 350mm (Without Front Fan)
- PSU length limitation: 220mm
- standard PS/2 psu : 150mm (W) x 86mm (H) x 140mm (D) (and higher than 140mm are still considered ATX PSUs)

Given that your psu is 200mm (in depth), could it be it's a PS/2 mini redundant?

See https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/tech-talk/10055?page=1
 
Thank you very much, I am waiting for an answer for the core p3 and also from the manufacturer to see if my psu fits without problems.
 
Yes, it is within my possibilities, but I am waiting for a response from the online store for the core p3 that the platform did not let me buy, and I initiated a claim (they have a bug in the platform) that I am still waiting for a response. Because if I get the core p3 at that price it would be great, and it would be enough to buy also a deepcool iii. That's why I'm waiting, now if I can't buy the core p3 I'll just go for the 215w I think. Thank you very much.
 
I found the Antec DF600 RF case and I think I'm going to buy it because I'm tired of waiting for a response from the online store.
I guess the Antec DF600 RF must be the flux, right? Because I can't find any other reference on the internet other than the flux. Thank you very much. Best regards.
