Hey everyone, I'm a newbie building my first PC. I've been eyeing the budget-friendly MONTECH XR case because of its cool fish tank design, but I've heard mixed things about how well it performs in terms of airflow. I'm using air cooling, and I'm a bit concerned that it might not work well with this case. I'm planning to use a Ryzen 5 9600X CPU and an RXA 9060 XT GPU. Is it possible to make this combo work with an AIO cooler instead? Or should I consider the Sama ARGB-Q5 case with better airflow due to its mesh front?

It's not the best option, but you might be okay since your CPU and GPU are pretty efficient and don’t get super hot. Just try to pack in as many case fans as you can for airflow and grab a solid CPU cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. That should help a lot!
Thanks a ton for the help! Quick question: do you think the Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO would be enough for my CPU? Or should I go for a beefier dual tower cooler?
