I am planning on building a new PC for gaming and streaming (no overclocking):

Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming
AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
Kingston Hyperx 2x8GB ddr4 3200mhz
Seasonic Core GM 650 (already own)
AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb (when prices go down, 2060 or 3060)
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
1x SanDisk Z400S 256gb (already own)

My options are:
COOLER MASTER MasterBox TD500 MESH 120$
Lian Li LANCOOL 215 105$
BE QUIET! Silent Base 802 (waiting for the price confirmation)
Antec GAMING NX800 ARGB 130$
Cooler Master MasterBox NR600 90$ + 15/20$ 120mm fan
be quiet! PURE BASE 500DX 125$
 
Solution
Go with the one YOU like the most, biased opinions from others be damned. You got this far, so YOU pick.
Then check reviews, so you know what shortcomings - if any - you may have to work with, and you go from there.

Narrow that list down to 3... then to 2... then pick your #1 - or maybe you already know your number one...

The lian-li comes with nice fans but long term (5-6 yr) if one of those fails it'll be nearly impossible to get a replacement so you should go with something that takes standard 140mm fans.

Case really depends on what YOU like, my only recommendation would be to avoid something with a glass/solid plastic front panel, 0 air intake.
I just avoid glass, don't want my case to shatter in a million pieces because of a wrong move, some people love it though, as I've said it's about your own likes.
