if you can find the meshify C from fractal design on sale, thats a good case (it doesn't have RGB but it has some of the best airflow on the market) I don't think any of the colors or options are on sale, so I think picking up a phanteks p350x is a good option.

NZXT H500/H500i isn't a bad option, either.

I did want to suggest that, but OP asked about airflow. The h500 doesn't have terrible airflow but not the greatest.

It's decent though.

 

Even the S340's airflow isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

From what I remember, the S340 is a little more open than the h500. I would personally go with the p350x for this case bc of budget and criteria, since you need to pay the extra for the rgb inside of the h500i.

S340 has two gaps, top and bottom. H500 has gaps on the side, in the same fashion as the H700 and some Fractal cases.

That's fair, just wanted to mention the H500 :)

I just bought one of these:

https://www.msy.com.au/viconline/case/21336-rotanium-temper-tg301-black-usb30-blue-led-tempered-glass-full-tower-gaming-case-without-psu.html

 

I am sure you can get a variant of it in most countries as it is just a cheap Chinese case.   It is large and has good airflow but not the RGB.   The sides, top and front are indeed tempered glass and despite it's price it isn't awful (just don't have your heart set on premium everything).
