Hey folks! I'm in the market for a new case because my current one is causing my PC to overheat. I'm looking for something that actually cools well, not just moves around hot air. Aesthetics aren't a concern for me—I'd be fine with a retro 90s vibe if it means better cooling. My setup includes a Micro-ATX motherboard (Gigabyte B760M GAMING DDR4), an RTX 4060 Ti with 8GB, two HDDs (so I need some space), an Intel i5 13400F, and 32GB of RAM. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

What case are you currently using? I've heard the NZXT H9 Elite does alright with cooling, but you'll find most mainstream cases perform similarly for air circulation.
I think my current case might be a TrendSonic F61A. It's almost identical, just with the logo in a weird spot.
You could get a solid case for around $50 that performs just as well in terms of airflow. Pricey cases don’t always equal better cooling, so don’t feel like you have to pick an expensive option.
I thought the same way! I assumed that spending more meant better cooling. Plus, the nine fans in the H9 caught my eye. I’m looking to spend around 300-400 BGN (approximately 153-204 Euros) if that helps, and I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Everything's overheating because my dad got this PC from his "builder friend" and it's stuck in an office case that has almost no airflow, plus just a basic Intel fan for the CPU.
