Morning All!

Looking at a case for the following build:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero
MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro - 32GB CL16 (4X8GB) RAM Kit
WD Black SN850 1TB M.2 SSD
Samsung 860 EVO SATA 1TB 2.5" SSD (MZ-76E2T0)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
Corsair RM850x Modular PSU
Noctua NF-A12X25 Black (3x120mm) Case Fans - Can Buy More if Needed :)
NZXT Z73 360mm AIO Radiator

Was thinking about the following cases: Phanteks P500A DRGB, Lian Li Lancool II RGB Mesh, Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic or XL, CoolerMaster H500

Any advice or support would be much appreciated!

Cheers all!

I'd go for the Phanteks 500A 3 140mm fans for air cooling, and a shroud that you can hide your hdd in and under.
I think you have some solid choices, it's down to personal taste. If you're keeping with aircooling your gpu. Any of theses cases will be nice to home your system in.
The P500A comes with 3 Phanteks SK rgb fans, so I would just forget the noctuas for now, buy 1 more SK fan for the rear exhaust, and settle for the 4 case fans and the 3 fans that come with your AIO.
!40mm fans have an advantage over 120mm as you won't have to run them so fast to get the same airflow you would have with 120mm, if they're too noisy then you can buy more case fans, but in my experience Phanteks fans are decent quality, more so when they come included with the case
