For the new AMD chips and graphic cards, I am building a new PC so I am wondering if you know any sleeper atx cases that have good airflow and which can support case fans or is it not possible.

Depends on what you define as Sleeper. Are you looking for something like the Define C which is just a plain Black Box, or are you looking for something retro like the Beige PC cases from the '00s?

For the retro stuff, the home or pro-home systems had terrible airflow, mostly because it doesn't take much airflow to cool your 30W Pentium III.
Now you can modify them so that they have better airflow, but you will be limited without changing the aesthetics.
That being said most of the cases used by the DEC Digital systems have fantastic airflow because the daughter boards they used could heat up a warehouse.

MaCase (if you can find one) had some decent airflow stuff.

If you're after something a bit more modern,
some of the Dell Optiplex were great as they had a full mesh front.
HP Prodesk, isn't too bad either.
