Help With Case

Arvizal

Basically, I have my parts pretty much confirmed, but someone was telling me that my previous case, (the Rosewill Blackhawk), wasn't the best case for $80. Because of this, I was wondering what the best case for $80 actually is for my build... 

 

Build: 

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($235.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($101.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($52.99 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($52.49 @ OutletPC) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card  ($349.99 @ Amazon) 
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($65.99 @ Amazon) 
Monitor: Acer G226HQLBbd 60Hz 21.5" Monitor  ($99.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $959.42
 
So what WOULD be the best case for $80 with this build in mind? Thanks!

Super useful, guys! DEFINITELY taking them into consideration! If I have so many options, could I be picky here and ask if there are any blue ones? (LEDs, actual case, doesn't matter haha!)

Thanks!

As for a completely blue case? I don't think so. Not in this price range at least. You might have to look into something like a Phantom from NZXT, but those are closer to $120.

What the actual hell..? All you do is switch the case LED, and it more than doubles in price. I wonder why.

Rainbow build!! Haha! But in all seriousness, I could just change the ram, and it would work, right? (Blue, black, white looks decent IMO)

Look. It's your PC. Make it how you want it. Not how I think, he thinks, or they think it should look! You'll have no compatibility issues with any of these cases, so it's all up to you and your final say-so at this point!
