Question Sharkoon Rebel C70 RGB

Solution
It's big midi tower?
There is no such thing as "big midi-tower". Either it is "midi-tower" or "mid-tower". Official specs say it is mid-tower,
specs: https://phanteks.com/product/xt-pro-ultra-black/

Midi-tower is smaller variant of mid-tower. It still houses ATX MoBo but otherwise is quite cramped and not suited for ATX MoBo.

But Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, based on it's size, is borderline full-tower ATX. It even supports E-ATX MoBo (up to 280mm wide that is).

Is Sharkoon Rebel C70 RGB a good case for a gaming pc?
The case doesn't add FPS to your gameplay. If you were asking if the case is a good chassis to house your internal componentry then we'd need to know what the list of internal componentry is. Looks to me like a case that took design queues from Fractal's North but yeah the airflow path looks unobstructed and the internals are akin to what you'd see from DeepCool's lineup.

1. Define "good" in your context?
2. There is no "gaming PC case". Any PC case will do. Heck, you don't even need a PC case for PC's operation.
3. No Reset button on Sharkoon cases (i know it well, i have one. My AMD build sits in one. I have DG7000-G).
4. Cheap price = low build quality.
5. Issues with cable routing at the back of the MoBo tray.
and most important:
6. Pick the PC case you like the most. Since choosing a PC case is personal choice and you have to look at it at daily basis and not us.

Good i mean with good airflow,roomy and good for cable management.My problem is that i have limited choices.The other options are:Corsair 4000d airflow,Be quite 500 dx which i think they aren't very roomy and Lian li liancool II mesh with cost 110 euros+25 euros for the front filter.. i'll use an R7 7800x3d or R9 7950x3d with air cooler(Thermalright phantom spirit 120 EVO ),an ATX 670 or 670E mobo and a 7900GRE or 7900xt for graphics card,32 gb 6000mhz cl 28 ram,an 850 watt psu,Samsung 990 pro 1tb for the basic ssd and a second ssd 970 evo 500gb.

an 850 watt psu
I wonder, make and model (or part number) of the PSU is? :unsure:

Good i mean with good airflow,roomy and good for cable management.
If you want that, then option would be either full-tower ATX or even super-tower ATX.

Mid-tower ATX is not roomy to build in and many of mid-tower ATX cases also have poor cable management options.

Since i too like to have plenty of space with good cable management inside of my PCs, i bought full-tower ATX cases for my Skylake and Haswell builds. Namely;
Skylake build - Corsair Graphite 760T V2 Black (specs)
Haswell build - Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition (specs)

Ample space in both of my full-tower ATX cases + great airflow and good cable management. If you want to see more pics of my builds, check them out from my signature.
Oh, only for my old AMD build, i have mid-tower ATX case (Sharkoon), but there, the MoBo is micro-ATX and that build doesn't have big components. I also bought the Sharkoon case to match the build color theme. It's pics are also in my sig.
