Question Help me choose a PC case

Welcome to the forums and Happy New Year, newcomer!

We will need to know;
1| the budget you've set aside for the case you want to use for your build
2| your preferred site for purchase
and
3| where you're located

We can provide suggestions accordingly. Just an FYI, you can use the BB code for your PCPartPicker listing to show the entire build as opposed to trying to fish for/list each individual part. I would look for a higher quality PSU.

This is my revised build for you, assuming you're located in the USA;

Hi, my budget is around 100-140 euros. I'm currently in Germany and planning to build it here. I would prefer Amazon or any accessible German electronics store as the website for purchase ;D
 
Key here is going to be which case do you like the appearance of more than another. How important is stuff like RGB and glass panels to you.

In general if you get a case with lots of included fans and lots of mesh panels you will get good cooling. Pretty much after that the only things you need to check is the clearance on the cooler and maybe the video card length even though the 4070 you list likely fits in most modern cases.

Although there are lists of "best" cases a lot of those can be paid advertising either directly of indirectly. I would just look at some of the various lists and pick something you like in your price point. Again key here is the amount of mesh and the number of fans. There are lots of glass fish bowl cases that have very poor ventilation because of all the glass.
