I need a new casing!

[johnadams123412]

So i was building a computer and when i was ordering the parts i noticed the case was retarded and i needed a different better one for an equal to cheaper price like ~50 or lower here's the build anyone have ideas on a good case for this build -  http://pcpartpicker....ames/saved/27vt

 

[Breakdown]

Good cases around $50?

 

Try the Corsair 200R or the NZXT Source 210 & its variant Source 210 Elite.

 

EDIT: The Fractal Design Core 3000 is also in that budget range from certain retailers.

Yep, they all support micro-ATX boards, like you have in your build.

Zalman Z9 plus destroys every case in its price range, for its price it cant be beaten, it will work fine with your parts and looks great, its cheap and the built quality is great for what you pay for. 

Thats my one and well its great. For £40 nothing on the market comes close(maybe the z11 but thats ugly).

If you buy that case, it's going to be packaged with an Apevia PSU. Apevia isn't a recommended brand, when it comes to PSUs.

 

I don't know much about their cases, so I can't speak on that.

 

Also, even if you did buy it, the PSU it comes with comes with no 6 pin PCI ports, so you won't be able to power your GPU.

 

Overall, I wouldn't recommend that case.

Yep, that's a nice one too.

 

@brownninja97 recommended that one as well, so it must be a nice case.

Yep, space will be fine. brownninja97 has a 7870 in his case as well, so you will have no issues with GPU space.

Don't get a mid atx case for a micro atx mobo. It's just awkward...

 

Get a proper fitting case like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-nse200kkn1

If you can afford a Fractal Design Core 3000 go with that. I haven't used that particular case but I have a Define R4 and it is amazing. The Core 3000 is going to be a much higher quality case than a lot of the other stuff on the market. The Corsair 200R is a cool case, but it will feel cheaper. My Define R4 replaced my Corsair 300R and they are night and day in terms of quality. Fractal just has much nicer/thicker steel.

 

For a cheaper case, the NZXT Source 210 isn't bad. I just finished building in one for a friend of mine. He had a terrible old Thermaltake that was just literally falling apart and he just needed something cheap and simple to move into. Its not a great case, but I will say that it was better than I expected it to be. It has a whole bunch of cable tie downs behind the board but there isn't much space back there for thick cables. I could barely squeeze the 24-pin ATX cable back there, but it worked in the end.

The Coolermaster N200 is a solid case.
