Hi,
I'm in the process of building a new rig for gaming/work with a 4070 Super because the 50 series is nearly double the price here. The ones available for me are:

-Gigabyte Aero, Asus TUF/Prime/ProArt (~$740)
-MSI Slim, Gigabyte Gaming/Eagle (~$701)
-Zotac Trinity, Asus Dual/EVO (~$680)
-Zotac Twin Edge (~$600)

I'm going to be using a mid tower (GPU space around 380-400mm) and where I live it can sometimes reach 40C if I don't have the AC on, I don't plan on overclocking or anything but I do work with 3D and sometimes have to render projects so temps under load are my main concern.

Is it a good idea to just get the cheapest and invest the difference into a case with decent cooling and airflow or is it better to buy a higher grade 3 fan?

Instead of being vague, can you please mention the make and model of your case as well as your exact location?

If I were you, I'd get the cheapest card out of the lot, since the higher priced Asus cards are just brand related marked up pricing.
