I do not have a general case suggestion, but is there a specific need to use a mictro atx motherboard? If you do go with full size ATX you will get more options to choose from concerning your case and you might not have to use smaller coolers or CPUs as bigger ones would fit in your case as well.

typically, espically for budget you tend to not want to spend more on processor than a GPU

[adiack]

@WambleCropped i did not even notice that ye you probably want to spend about 40% on a gpu depending on budget

I have used a Phanteks Eclipse P300 case for awhile and for the price, the quality, airflow, and cable management is exceptionally high.

 

I've also built a PC using one of the Corsair Carbide cases, internally it is very similar to the Phanteks Eclipse P300.

If they are streaming, they could always just put the load onto the CPU. That way the performance of a game fully using the GPU wouldn't be challenged.

@KhakiHat that cpu if they were streaming in a modern muliti threaded game cant stream as well as you would expect i have to lower my setting quite a lot from ultras to high medium in a lot of cases 

[adiack]

and that gpu is realy bottle necking you

to clarify, im just 11 years old. I play those really immature gaems like roblox and some mmorpg's. I use a wacom and photoshop and i tend to leave things open alot, so just for my sanity i want a good processor. (and im going to upgrade alot when i start playing more hardcore games). so basically i dont steam at all, a barely watch anything other than linus on my pc. and micro atx seems to be cheaper so i can same my parents and me some money.

That's fair, for some reason I was thinking it was a Ryzen 7. I misread.

[adiack]

ok just remember if you upgraded you gpu you would prob need a better psu

[skiibii]

ok. also, i found a case just now on newegg for pretty cheap... do you guys think it's legit? (as in would be a good case for my build) https://www.newegg.ca/black-azza-luminous-110-micro-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811517061?Description=azza&cm_re=azza-_-11-517-061-_-Product
