I am willing to get a new Cabinet for my FX Micro ATX Motherboard, I want to get one which will have better cable management and airflow. I have checked out some of them but I am not able to make out the best one for me, if anyone here can suggest me some good ones then it will help me for making the best choice out of it. My budget is 4k but if I am getting the best deal then I can spend 5k for it. Help regarding this will be appreciative.
In that case Corsair 300R will be a better choice, it will cost you somewhere around 4,5 k but will be quite worth. It comes with 3 x 5.25” drive bays, 4 x 3.5” hard drive bays , 7 expansion slots. Its I/O panel includes 2 x USB 3.0 connectors, 3.5” headphone and microphone connector, Power and reset switch. It supports graphics cards up to 450mm in length and 2 x 120mm/140mm top fan. You also get a one front-mounted 140mm fan and one rear 120mm fan included with it. It is compatible with ATX and Micro ATX motherboards and I don’t think that you will get a better choice than 300R at this decent price.
If you can spend a bit more than 5k then you have a better choice than Corsair 300R which is Corsair Carbide Series 400R. It has Side panel with mesh fan mount location, 4 x 5.25” drive bays, 6 x 3.5” hard drive bays, 8 expansion slots. Its Front I/O panel has 2 x 3.0 connectors, one Firewire connector, 3.5” headphone and microphone connector, Power and reset switches, Power and reset switches. Other than these it has a Dimensions of 20.5” x 8.1” x 19.8”, Supports graphics cards up to 316mm in length, 6 x 120mm/140mm fan mounts, 4 x 120mm fan mounts and comes with front-mounted 120mm fans and one rear 120mm fan included.

Ive got CM 690 II Advanced (RC-692) with side window recently and I think that it is one of the best cabinets. You can check out its specification and features at its official site for better idea of the product. It will cost you about Rs. 5723, so of if you find it out of your budget then amongst the one mentioned above I will suggest you to go with Coolermaster Elite 431 plus (RC-431P).
