Hi guys

So far I've bought the following:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
ASUS ROG Strix B550F
Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB DDR-4 3600MHZ CL18
ADATA XPG SX8200 1TB M2 2280 NVME SSD
Seagate Baracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD
Corsair 750W Fully Modular Power Supply

I will wait until the CPU arrives before deciding whether I'll need an additional cooler, but will potentially also be getting a Scythe Mugen 5 or Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler so need to make sure either will fit:

Mugen WxHxD:
130 x 154,5 x 110 mm

Dark Rock Pro:
(L x W x H), (mm) 145.7 x 136 x 162.8

I will also either be getting a 6800, 6800xt, 3070 or 3080:

3070: Length 9.5" (242 mm) || Width 4.4" (112 mm) || Slot 2-Slot
3080: Length 11.2" (285 mm) || Width 4.4" (112 mm) || Slot 2-Slot
6800: Length 267 mm || Slot 2 slots
6800 XT: Length 267 mm || Slot 2.5 slots

Based on the above, can someone provide any help or advice on a decent mid-tower case? I've not built a PC before so a bit of space to build in would be preferable but not a deal breaker. I'd also quite like a seethrough panel but again, not massively bothered - I do want to have USB slots at the front or on the top & would like decent ventilation too

Any help appreciated!
 
They will all be similar as their design will be focused on airflow. None of them are bad cases. On looks alone I'd pick the Lancool 2 if it were my choice.
