It depends on your needs. Are you looking for a full tower, mid-tower, or something smaller like a mini-ITX?

I don’t want anything too big, but I also need good airflow.

Sounds like a mid-tower would be perfect. It’s the most common size and gives you enough room for airflow, cable management, and future upgrades.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. But what’s the benefit of a full tower?

Full towers are great if you have an E-ATX motherboard, need extra storage drives, or want a custom water-cooling setup. But they take up a lot of space.

Makes sense. What about small cases like mini-ITX?

They’re compact and look cool, but they can be tricky to build in. Limited airflow, fewer expansion slots, and you have to be careful with GPU and cooler sizes.

Yeah, I don’t want to deal with that. I think mid-tower is the way to go.

Definitely a solid choice. Just pick one with good airflow and enough space for your components.
