Define  "best" 

Based on your prefrence,im not buying im just seeing what this forum likes,im planning on getting the Thermaltake V21 becuase of its GPU stand,no sag,3 3.5 mounts and 3 2.5 mounts while also being able to fit 350mm of GPU and about 300MM of PSU,overall a great case but it could be bigger then your average Cube case. also a window for GPU Cooler itself.

the forum is a great place to explore more items and see if their on your likeing,Also I love linus.

I like my Lian Li PC-V359, but it's a pain in the butt to work with if you have a custom water loop.

CM N200. Has everything & perfect space. Only downside is window panels have to come from EU store.

For me, the best micro ATX case available right now is the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Thick aluminum, hinged side panels, zero thumbscrews, four different LED color options, power supply shroud, velcro cable management, custom water-cooling ready, and very well put together.

Maybe not the best, but for $60 it's hard to beat the Corr V21 from Thermaltake. I have a Xeon based gaming build with a sapphire r9 390 in it, and it wasn't too bad to build in, and the airflow options are amazing. I love the horizontal mounting option so I can show off that sleek sapphire cooler through the side window. :)

so the Core v21 is worth the 102$ its over here?

btw dw if you think its a high price,cases here go for atleast a 100 bucks

so a Corsair Air 240 would be like 150 Bucks

I was thinking of buying it and an r9 390,But im wondering if my i3 3220 will be able to not bottleneck it too much.

The i3 may be a bit of a ball and chain on the capability of the 390, but it will still prove to be a good card. What are you upgrading from? And yes, if that case is still reasonably priced compared to the other options, then it's worth it.

Love the Air 240, you won't be upset with the quality. It's amazingly well build, lots of ventilation, and looks absolutely amazing, but I prefer the white version.

"Best" for me are the Mini itx and micro atx cases with the least amount of volume needed for a build. Small mobo's grant tiny and slick builds. Component layout is more important then the quality of fans or the presence of dustfilters, because both can be added afterwards if need be.
