i want to buy an atx case with good airflow, i think it should be better to buy a mid range price case (40-60euros) case and then improve the fan coolers rather than buy a high priced case like the corsair 570X, so please recommend me cases, my goal is a cheap case with good airflow and tempered glass side panel

If you can stretch your budget for it, the Fractal Design Meshify C might be a good pick up.

is a little expensive for my plan, im thinking about the thermaltake core g21, dual tempered glass for just 60euros, with 50 more i get 3 rgb thermaltake coolers 140mm

I would invest the fan money into a better case, you'll thank yourself later.

Flashy colours will get boring, give it a month or so, a nice case will not.

End of the day, most cases after a certain price point have good enough airflow. Once you get into cases that are meant for silence (Example the H440 I had) they start adding restrictions around and prevent direct airflow in favour of lower noise (Which is what I wanted when I went shopping) but that case compensated for it by coming with 4 140mm fans and even though they were pinned at a particular RPM without fan control, they were pretty quiet because of the RPM they were running at and all the foam padding probably. Anywho, the point I was coming at is that you can't really go wrong with most of the newer cases, just get something you like and is easy to clean every couple of months (Fan filters etc.

I believe Cooler master now has the MC500 with a mesh front panel and a tempered glass side panel in that range. (I'm on the road so I can't check for you)
