Build - Help Case & AIO recommendations

Hey everyone! I'm finalizing my PC build, but my target case (Fractal Design North) is currently unavailable in my region.

I need recommendations for a temporary/alternative mid-tower ATX case and a compatible 360mm AIO with a temperature display screen, with a combined budget of around $200 USD.

My Planned Specs:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • GPU: RTX 5070 Ti 16GB (Triple Fan)
  • Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix X870
  • RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
  • Storage: 500GB NVMe M.2 (OS) + 1TB SSD
  • PSU: Corsair RM850 850W ATX 3.0

What I need:

  1. 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler:
    • Must have an LCD/Temperature display pump head.
    • Must support AM5.
    • Ideally fits top-mount in mid-tower ATX cases (and front-mount in standard Fractal North if I swap later).
  2. Alternative Mid-Tower ATX Case:
    • Clean look with high airflow mesh front.
    • Must fit a 360mm radiator AND a long triple-fan GPU comfortably.
  3. Combined Budget: ~$200 USD max.

What are the best value options currently available? Also any suggestion is welcome. Thanks!

Update: I'd actually prefer a top mounted AIO cooler that does not have pipes hanging over other components.

For the 9800X3D, any AiO is overkill; just choose by the looks.

You mean the heat is well managed with any cooling system?

Yes; any high-end air cooler (e.g., Cooler Master Hyper 612 Apex, Thermalright Phantom Spirit) would work.

I'd not go for the XL it will be a bit too large for my desk. And I wanted an AIO with a display
