Hello! I'm upgrading my pc and i can't make my mind on what case i should go with.

GPU: Sapphire RX 5700XT NITRO+
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
MB: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max

I want a good airflow, but at the same time i also want a good looking case. I will overclock the cpu and dram, possibly the gpu too and i want decent temps on them.

I was looking at Corsair 220t, which has good airflow and it looks decent, but is a bit on the expensive side for me where i live ( 120$ ).

The Deepcool Matrexx 70 ADD-RGB 3F is also one that i was looking at. It looks nice, but it has a glass front and i don't know how much that would impact the parts' temperatures. Price is ~ 90$.

The last one that i am eyeing is the Cooler Master MB500. It's ~ 77$.

I would like to know how much of an improvement a mesh front is, compared to only on the sides like the Matrexx, and if you have any other recommendations i am happy to hear them.
 
Update: I've also found a phanteks p400a and a Silverstone rl06, which I've read are very good for airflow. They have good and similar prices (~96$). But it's only broadened my choice list, as I still can't decide.
