Not too much money, no more than $130. I really like the NZXT Phantom 530, should I get it or do you have a nicer one than this?

I really like the look of the NZXT H440 Designed by Razer™ ATX Mid Tower Case

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Sex appeal is subjective and which is better depends on the scenario. In terms of functionality, the Define R5 is the best.

 

Shoulda just kept it in your original post

well define R5 is more subtle not sexy. same with H440, so I guess the plastic-ness of the Phantom 530 is what you want, and its pointy angles

Is that positive to Phantom 530 or negative?

I use to like the Phantom 530, but I don't really like any of these cases. (Sorry Fractal Josh). The R5 is probably the best, but the 530 does look nice if you like the gamer look.

 

I personally like small ITX and M-atx cases I think they are more of a challenge to work in! That is if I had the money to build one...

I think the R5 has slightly better airflow compared to the H440, and is also slightly quieter.  I'm planning on getting an R5 at some point. My old case from 2008 is getting pretty beat up.

The only thing I don't like about the R5 is how it looks. It looks so plain

Because I like the looks. It's not bad to build in. Good airflow. Big window.

That's great now vote.

I agree, its very plain.  I think minimalist is the word they are going for.
