so I'm looking at cases for this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/awepicness/saved/M84Ycf and I would like the case to be portable. If anyone knows any cases that works with this build for ~$50-$100 USD, I'd be glad to hear it. I've listed a few things I would like, but none are a must-have:

 

- enough room for the a gigabyte r9 280 windforce card without removing drive bays like the current case I have selected - BitFenix Prodigy White Mini ITX

- any color is fine, but preferably a completely white/black case with or without small accents

- comes with a fan but I can always get one  if it doesn't

- it would be neat if it had a handle for simple transportation - and it would be cool to carry my computer around like that 

 

also, I'm fine if it doesn't have a 5.25" bay, I can just get an external reader.

 

If you have any suggestions for a case that would be great, thanks!

PC gaming is superior to console gaming, but the gamers themselves are neither superior or inferior to one another: they're just people with varying degrees of understanding.

a x4 is gonna be bottlenecked by a r9 280, but for the case then i suggest a corsair 300r

Yeah definitely a bottleneck there.

For real? It's a 3.8Ghz quad-core with a 7950. He'll be fine.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone! From suggestions from you and more googling about, I've decided I really like the corsair graphite 380t. I don't know if anyone will care about my choice but I just wanted to say thanks =)
