Airflow looks a bit sketch, especially considering you're running an unlocked Xeon and a Vega 64. 

 

The Focus G and Deepcool Tesseract both have great airflow (Deepcool also has no side panel window)

List of no side panel <$50 cases

hello i was just looking for any cheap atx case recommendations, preferably sub $50, doesnt need to have tempered glass or anything fancy, in fact im kind of shooting for a sleeper/workstation kind of look however the case needs to have good airflow as i am going to be running some hot hardware in it

phantecs p300 or 400, i don't know what they cost in dollars tho, 

About $50 and they're Phan-tastic.

 

I'll see myself out now.

 

That being said, they do look professional and nice. Just turn the RGB LED's off. Mine had no issues supplying airflow for a 4690k with an 240mm AIO water cooler and a Strix 970.

 

There is a model with a solid side panel instead of glass, IIRC.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

how is the antec p7? i found it on ebay for $45, i dont think i want tempered glass and im debating on if i even want a side panel as well, like i was saying in the OP im kind of shooting for a sleeper look however i didnt want to throw this pc into an old case from the 90s i have because i dont think there will be enough fresh air for my system

The MasterBox Lite 5 is good so long as you don't need the best airflow, otherwise save up for a Phanteks P300 or buy a Cougar MX330
