cheap decent case with an older design?

Ashley MLP Fangirl

i'm looking to build a secondary pc using some old parts. 

 

part list: 

Asus P5K-E

Q9550

Freezer 7

4gb DDR2

GTX 690

AX860

 

it's just a bunch of spare parts, the only goal is running Windows 10 relatively decently and play some older games that this generation of hardware can handle fairly well. 

 

are there any cheap cases that will house this hardware and have stuff like usb 2.0 ports for the front panel etc, since this is waaaay too old for USB 3 for example.

Plenty of cases also come with this adapter included. Make sure to check the case accessories.

 

Where are you shopping / located? Budget?

It's to accommodate for older motherboards that don't have internal usb 3.0 headers.
