I recently got the Mercury OC 9070 XT and I'm looking to upgrade my case. Both the NZXT H7 Flow and Montech Air 903 MAX are available at the same price in my area. Which one should I choose to get the best performance and aesthetics?

Honestly, just go with whichever case you think looks better. I've used my 9070 XT in a case with minimal airflow, and it never went above 50°C while gaming, so it can handle some heat.
If both are the same price, I'd recommend the H7 Flow. It’s a better case overall compared to the 903 MAX.
I'm leaning towards the NZXT too—it just has a nice aesthetic!
I used to have the Focus G White and my temps were super high. I switched to the Montech Air 903 MAX, and my CPU temp dropped from 70°C to 61°C and my GPU dropped from 75°C to 70°C. The fans are really quiet, and the build quality is solid. Plus, it has enough space for bigger GPUs than the Mercury OC. One downside of the NZXT H7 is that you have to mount the PSU vertically, which I find annoying.
Both cases will work well and are pretty similar in terms of what components you can fit in them. Just pick the one that appeals to you more!
True, but remember that core temp isn't the whole story; you also want to keep an eye on hotspot and memory temps.
