ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Midi-Tower Case airflow?

Hello Guys, and Gals

I'm looking at the ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Midi-Tower Case to house my new setup from OC and am happy with it in most respects.

I already have my CPU and Motherboard which are the Ryzen 5950X and TUF GAMING X570-PRO (WI-FI), but am worried that the thermals may be bad due to front intake and really don't want to make a mistake with a case. Also being able to house a 3080 GPU etc down the line would be ideal.

I am looking at an AIO which is the arctic cooler Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 360mm that I'm very confident will fit easily in the top of this case. I only mention the cooler for a fuller picture as I never used water before, but can't see even the Noctua air cooler doing what I want which is a shame.

Anybody any thoughts on the thermals of this case? and I would happily consider other cases. Sure this case looks great, but I need performance cooling wise. I also noticed the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh C RGB Midi-Tower Case but so many cases out there and trying to whittle this down is quite laborious.

A little update on this case.

I bought it from Overclockers a few weeks ago and after the recent heatwave, I am very happy with it.

Good to work with, too. You can install 4 x 3.5 hdd in it rather than the 2 it advertises. I stuck one in back of the case where you route cables.

It is a big case and well made.

The only warning I will issue is. If you build on a table waste height please consider how you will lift it to it final resting place. I grabbed it by the two straps and nearly did a number on my back as once all is built it is rather heavy.
