I would recommend that you look at cases with an airflow focused front design (i.e. mesh front panel), rather than solid glass...as that will CHOKE airflow.

Having a good amount of good performing included fans is also nice, so you don't need to drop an additional $30 ~ $100 on fans (costs more if you want RGB, etc).

 

Here are some suggestions -- cases that I would use if I were to build a new PC.

Could the Phanteks Eclipse P360A ATX Mid Tower Case work if I add an out fan?

Yes, that will work as well.

The P400A vs P360A is that the P360A is just smaller -- not as tall, and not as wide.
