Hey everyone! I'm putting together a PC build and have most of my parts already lined up, including an Arctic Liquid Freezer III (360mm), MSI X870 Tomahawk motherboard (ATX), and a Palit RTX3090. My PSU is a Corsair RM1000X. Now, I'm on the hunt for a budget-friendly PC case. Here's what I'm looking for:
1. RGB lighting options that I can control, like Aura RGB or similar.
2. Space for a 360mm radiator—ideally, I think having it on top would be best for airflow since hot air rises.
3. A cool aesthetic—this is pretty subjective, but you can assume it's for personal taste.
4. I'm fine with either ATX or eATX sizes.
5. It would be great if it comes with included fans.
I initially thought about the Asus ROG Strix Helios, but it's pretty pricey (about 350 EUR where I am). I'm aiming for something around 120 EUR (plus or minus 10 EUR). So far, I've found the Natec Diaxid 605 ARGB and Asus TUF Gaming GT301. Any other suggestions? Oh, and just to clarify, I'm not into those fish tank styles; I prefer more classic designs with acrylic or tempered glass panels.

Have you checked out the Antec C5 or C8? They might fit your needs well, especially if you’re looking for something less flashy than a fish tank style.
I’d recommend looking into the NZXT H6 Flow, Okinos Aqua 93, or Lian Li Lancool Digital. I personally like the Thermaltake Tower 600 for its compact size and aesthetics, too. Each of these should meet your criteria pretty well!
Thanks for the suggestion! I actually forgot to mention I'm not into fishtank designs, so I’ll definitely consider the C5 or C8 if I don't find anything else I love!
