PC case upgrade help

I'm looking to upgrade my pc case due to shitty airflow and overheating with my current one (Kolink K3 Mid Tower) --> It only supports 2 fans: 1x 92mm, 1x 120mm, which does not manage to keep GPU under 80C when running minecraft + a few background things... (the GPU isn't the greatest but case upgrade should make the temp alot better)

Any Case recommendations which would fit the following and isn't massive and has preinstalled case fans:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H

GPU: AMD rx590

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

RAM: 2x16GB (dunno specific specs)
1x 1TB SSD

Bronze power supply of some kind (prob. standard size)

 

Thanks in advance!

 

EDIT: budget: not more then £80, country: UK

I would like the case to show off a bit (RGB Fans and light strips etc...)

Then probably the NR400 or NR600

A lot of the cheaper like name brand ones have closed off fronts, or there is a knock off meshify case


They used to be a bit cheaper I think.

Rosewill Cullinan. Great Tempered Glass on all sides, Mid-ATX tower with 4 preinstalled 1200MM fans and a fan controller. Great airflow and looks very nice - very easy to build in. They've several options in regards to fan colors or RGB. I've built multiple rigs with that at my shop for customers - I highly recommend.

That Rosewill case looks to be an American only deal, only at Newegg by the looks of it.  Buying a case from the US will be expensive with import duty, VAT and the shipping costs.

that a different case - but I actually just built one of those this week lol, w/ 7 green ring fans I absolutely loved it. Very easy to build in as well and looks awesome with that metal grill on front - great air flow in that one too

Those choked cases with tempered glass on every side are most likely just as bad as your current case.

 

Nr600 or 4000D airflow great choices. Phanteks p300a, p360a and p400a are nice too. Although for p300a you have to add at least one fan on front.
