That said, imo for a 750w PSU and case that were really well reviewed, this is a crazy good price.
That said, the upside-down nature of this case is not great for current GPUs unless they're AIO/watercooled designs. Modern GPUs pull air from the far side of the PCB to the PCB side and many of them have heatsinks that are much larger than the PCB, which means air can pass straight through. In a standard ATX case this goes from bottom to top, but in an upside-down case this goes from top to bottom, fighting against the intake fan on the bottom. To use it optimally, the top fans would need to be used as intakes and the bottom fans as exhaust.
Nice looking case, non-ATX 3.0 PSU but that can be overlooked at this price. Good to build a lower power computer in. Also looks like 4 Nidec Gentle Typhoon fans preinstalled in the case- those fans are $15-20 each on their own.

otherwise airflow isn't an issue. It is a high positive pressure case, and the inverted layout moves the desktop to your left, if you want to look at the window.
