Not the best case from what I can see 

What's your budget exactly ? 

Edit : and don't repost about the same thing.

My max is around 50-60$ but lower is better

The p300 is a decent budget option if you want to look at that 

That's the one that I'm thinking of , of the top of my head

Small question, does different cases have big differences in the build process? like how m.2 ssd have totally different installation then a SATA ssd, or is it practically the same with minor differences on the build process

p300a is the one you want. p300 has a choked up front panel and is a quite bad case for over 100W gpu:s.

No? Lol 

And even if that was the case ( no pun intended) the system that is being powered here barely consumes any thing

It is choked up just like the original p400. Tiny openings on bottom and top of front panel that are restricted with plastic grills and dust filters.

 

Barely consumes anything? Rx580 alone is over 200W:s. Some models peak near 240-250W:s. Bad airflow and you have a very loud system.

 

If the fixed a-models of phanteks p300 and p400 are expensive, look at cooler master nr400/nr600. Those are supposed to be as cheap 60-70d and have nice airflow too.
