I loved Antecs clean P-series cases, but that P7 just has NO airflow....holy crap.

Therefore, Antec VSP 5000.

Which case do you recommend?

Are these two cases your ONLY options? What is your location and budget?

I'm looking for a mid tower case without a window.

 

These are the cases that are available to me:

Sharkoon VS4-S

Antec P7 Silent

Antec Three Hundred Two

Antec VSK4000BU3

Corsair Carbide 200R

(the Antec VSP5000 isn't available to me anymore)

 

In addition I prefer a case that is more quiet, so for example the Antec Three Hundred Two isn't really for me based on the reviews I read.

 

Actually I really like how the Antec P7 Silent looks from the out side and the inside, I especially like the psu chamber, the only problem I have with it is that I'm not sure if the airflow is good enough.

I tried checking the airflow in reviews but I only found 2 reviews on the Antec P7 Silent (use google translate if needed..)

This one didn't say anything too bad about the airflow - http://hwready.it/recensioni/antec-p7-silent-la-nostra-recensione/

BUT in this review on page 6 where they talk about the ventilation and temperatures it doesn't look too good -

out of these I'd go for the corsair 200r as it at least has a side intake

 

none have decent airflow and you can expect high temps if you have mid or high end components, no less than 70C on the CPU and 85C on graphics card

ASUS X470-PRO • R7 1700 4GHz • Corsair H110i GT P/P • 2x MSI RX 480 8G • Corsair DP 2x8 @3466 • EVGA 750 G2 • Corsair 730T • Crucial MX500 250GB • WD 4TB

I would go with the 200R. 

 

The quieter the case, the worse the airflow, so there's a balance that needs to be made. And in your case, the 200R is your best bet :)

Cpu - i5 8600

Cpu cooler - cooler master hyper t2

Gpu - ati hd4850 1gb (I might upgrade in the future)

 

with these specs I will get 70C and 85C on CPU and GPU with all of these cases? Are you sure?

That GPU is not high end, so no.
