second case for sure!

AMD may be cheaper per core and stuff like that, but when gaming the I3 excels.

 

also, get a cheapo 50 bucks case from amazon!

Get rid of that thing and buy a new case. (Arc Mini R2 is recommended)

no point for buyin a new case when this does job more than fine and  since i taken read panel off so no coler  clearence and ALL AIRFLOW TO PC  at all times getting a new case is a waste of money since i have no more budget for gpu and dont want to spent a ton on a pc since it will be changed around 4 years later when beter cases and componets come out
