I'm starting to get together parts to build a gaming PC for my son's 8th birthday. As you can imagine at that age, they don't really get what makes a good case. His requirement is simple... it has to be red, or have lots of red!
I have a budget of 2k total for the entire PC (including monitor), so don't want to splurge a massive amount on the case; £100 quid would be top end, unless something slightly higher was 100% worth it.
It's over 20 years since I last built a gaming PC, as I moved to gaming laptops and haven't looked back. I have zero idea what makes a good case these days (airflow and cable management top of my list, and a window would be nice). Looking at the sheer number of cases available now, I notice that some aren't suitable for larger graphics cards or coolers.
Would anyone be able to help find a decent case I can get now without the worry of what components I purchase in a couple of months? I've got my eye on this case, but not sure if the light colour can be changed to red?

I'm expecting that it will be a full AMD build with a 5700XT of some kind.
Thanks in advance for any help. The last time I did this you literally only hand a handful of cases and never had to worry about GPU or CPU cooler size, so it was nice and easy - mind-boggling now!
