Hello. The title says it all,I am making my Ryzen 5 1400 build and R9 Fury X (Unlocked Sapphire R9 Fury TRI-X,so it will be pretty big.) build this summer but I am stuck on the case chapter.
The P400S looks less nicer but it is silent,but chocked aiflow,but absolutely amazing cable management.
The Core G21 looks better,nicer airflow,reosanble cable management but there is one problem;
DUAL TEMPERED GLASS SIDE PANELS.
I put my eyes on these two cases because they fit perfectly the pieces and fans,I like them both,but here are the disadvantages on both cases :

P400S : Chocked airflow. Looks a bit uglier.
G21 : DUAL GOD DAMN SIDE PANELS. And more noise,because the P400S has sound dampening.

I am NOT wanting to buy the S340/S340 Elite.

Thanks in advance.

The thing with PC cases is that it isn't the case that makes the noise but instead the case fans you put into there.
If i were to take a "quiet" case like Corsair 400Q and put a Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM fan into it which outputs 43.5 dB(A), then you can be certain that the PC won't be quiet at all, despite the claims it being quiet.

The trick is that the more fans you have inside the case, the less each fan has to work to maintain the airflow and the less noise fans produce. And that is also a main reason why i have 7 case fans in my Skylake and Haswell builds (full specs with pics in my sig). Since i have that many case fans, i can keep all of my case fans spinning between 800 - 1100 RPM and thanks to this, my...

As far your case selection goes, you need to figure it out by yourself since choosing a PC case is a personal choice. Go with the one that you like the most. I can only give you additional suggestions regarding cases, like:
