Are there any good airflow cases that aren't a nightmare to fit the back panel on?

atavax

I'm looking at getting a new case. I'll use it for my current build but probably be upgrading in February with the 7950x3d. I don't want it taller than 575 mm, ATX motherboard compatible, Capable of holding at least 1 hdd preferably 2. full size PSU. At least 1 sata ssd. and fit a full size GPU currently using a reference 7900xtx, I'm also not 100% on what cooler I will be using in the future. I'm currently using a deepcool 620; i might be getting an assassin 4 if it comes out soon enough or i might be going AIO in which case I'd probably be going 240mm or 280mm. Also preferably all metal panels

 

Right now the most tempting case is the Fractal Pop air. But I have no idea how much space is on the side. I also have a bad taste in my mouth for Fractal as the case I'm currently using that I want to move out of is the Fractal Torrent Compact. Which i've found the top panel to be cheap, flimsy, and break easily. The side panels to get jammed and stuck easily. And inconvenient amount of space on the back panel for all the wiring.

Don't get me started on the Fractal Torrent Compact. That thing is a flimsly plastic hellish piece of crap horribly designed turd biscuit of a case. I have a whole monologue about it posted on here somewhere.

 

I'd personally get the Lian Li Lancool III or the NZXT H7 Flow
