Is this a good case for airflow building etc.

sounds like a popular case.

It's a great case for what you get in terms of the price, also cheaper on newegg.

Awesome!! Does the p400 do anything better?? It’s a couple extra bucks

Phanteks is not a brand I'd go for when good airflow is a criteria. The front panel design isnt suitable for air to get through.

What would be a good case for airflow?

Mesh front panel cases. Fractal Meshify C, Cooler Master H500P Mesh, Silverstone RL06 etc.

Really depends on the price compared to other cases such as the P300 where you live, as i would say the P300 is a far better looking case (with Glass side panel) but you lose the better airflow compared to the Focus G. That being said i would only expect the P300 to be around 5-8 degrees hotter.

Is the p300 or p400 worth it over the fractal design G?

Yes, in my opinion.

 

Or you can buy a P300/P400 and take the front panel off.

Without the panel wouldn’t that increase the dust collected tremendously?

front panel doesnt block dust at all, it's mostly noise insulation and looks. Dust filter is what blocks dust.

If the P300 is $20-$30 more in your area then the Focus G then go the P300, otherwise get the Focus G

Yes becasue Unlike most cases, Phanteks put the dust filters right on the little vent slots, meaning removing the front panel also removes the dust filters.
