Computer Case upgrade

Voidedbyte · July 18, 2019

So I did an upgrade to my PC and this is my parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MTmY4q

I want to upgrade my case, but I can't choose a good case. If possible I would like it to see into as well as have to room for a Blu ray drive(no issue if it doesn't) I would also like to be able to vertical mount my GPU on the case too if I can since I can't do that atm. The last thing is that I would like to be able to invert the motherboard the other way, but that I don't care too much about. Thanks and I am not trying to spend a lot of money either.

Vertically mounting your GPU should only be done with aftermarket brackets like ones sole from Cablemod and Coolermaster, because native PCI-E vertical mounts in cases put the cards too close to the glass and suffocate them.

How much is "a lot of money"? For me I have no problem spending close to $200 for a case, but some people cant justify anything over $50.

I can leave my GPU the way it is though, but I would say nothing over $200 so like $200 at most. Last time I went with a cheap case it was a nightmare to build in

The Enthoo Pro M TG at $100 gets a very strong recommendation from me

If you want a case that can be inverted, the be quiet! Dark Base 700 is a good choice (gives up the 5.25" bay though)
