Hey there! Just looking for some suggestions on some budget cases to upgrade from my ancient one. I am looking for a mixture of functionality and looks. If you can provide examples that go extreme on one side, (functionality/Looks) then I will for sure consider. Thanks!

price? Hardware it needs to hold? Size? RGB or not? Tempered glass or acrylic side panel?

Preferred tempered glass side panel, RGB isnt a huge priority but it would be nice. mATX Mobo, GTX 1050. nothing huge. Anywhere from 25-50

The U.S. 

There aren't very many cases which only support mATX according to pcpartpicker(because putting an mATX motherboard into an ATX case is pretty ugly), so you'd have to find an ATX case. For under $50, there's the Cooler Master - MasterBox MB510L, Deepcool MATREXX 55. For a little more at $55 you can go for the Phanteks Eclipse P300 which is a pretty good case from my experience building in it.

be careful the "internal" and "external" drive bay sizes start looking similiar once you start scrolling all over the place. 

 

radiator options for water cooling, is not the best for selecting on pcpartpicker, but once you figure out size of motherboard min size you need, and then min amount of bays you want, you can hunt and pick around some.
