This is the only mid tower case in my budget otuer wise I'd have to use a micro ATX case so is it a good case? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KC8GHx

Not great but if it is all you can get it will do the job.

Swap the GPU out for http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003662l if this is for gaming. It's significantly better

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Definitely.

 

Also, something to add to the discussion - this is like $5 more:

What about this case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353056

I was going to make a snarky remark but after seeing it, no it's not that good. There's no cutout for an aftermarket cooler, the insides are very cheap, the 4 slots will limit your boards and overall I'd say this is a $10 case with a glossy paintjob. Spend just a little more and you'll get a *lot* more.

Sir William of Orange: Corsair 230T - Rebel Orange, 4690K, GA-97X SOC, 16gb Dom Plats 1866C9,  2 MX100 256gb, Seagate 2tb Desktop, EVGA Supernova 750-G2, Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3, DK 9008 keyboard, Pioneer BR drive. Yeah, on board graphics - deal with it!
