I am having temperature issues with my 3090 and it has been suggested my case is not ideal for my build.

What would be a good case to try and get more airflow into my rig?

My build is in my profile. I also have a Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler and 7 fans (3 intake and 4 exhaust).
 
Usually I go with more intakes than exhausts.
I would recommend try with the side panel of your case removed and see how things go. If temperature improves a lot, then is airflow. You can always get better fans or brute force for better airflow, but there’s always a limit on how much you can do and if is enough.
if you’re going to get a new case, usually I would recommend something with bottom intake to help the GPU. Either one of the O11 variants or the newer/cheaper Lancool 216 and 3. With an aircooler, you would only really need one exhaust at the top, over the Dark Rock at slow rpm to remove residual heat and a rear exhaust. All intake you can, but no need to go crazy. Another option would be a Fractal Torrent, or the smaller torrent and add bottom fans. The Torrent is fantastic to use with aircooler.
 
Thanks for the recommendations.

I have my tower on a 'trolley' by my desk. I worry that any intake fans on the bottom would just be sucking up dust from the carpet? Could look into tiles or something under the trolley to prevent that?

Will take a look at the Torrents. I read a few articles that had recommend a Corsair 5000D too.
