So I need some case recommendations.  I have an MSI ATX motherboard, MSI R9 280x (not a very big card), and although it is not necessary, I would like a 5.25 inch drive bay for a DVD drive.  Not planning to watercool anything.  Last, the price should be around 100 USD.  Thanks.

I got a cheap Raidmax ATX mid tower case myself. It might do the trick. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/raidmax-case-atx403wb

It has 2 x 5.25inch drive bays :)

NZXT S340

Fractal Define S(R5 without frontal drive cages and ODD)

NZXT H440

 

I wouldn't get anything below S340 most of the other cases don't have good cable management

Corsair Carbide SPEC-01​ , save 50 dollars and try to get r9 290.

Have you ever used a SPEC-01? It's not a very good case, very little room for cable management, and it can't fit a very big air cooler.

@AndrewZ, have a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. Looks like a damn good case (haven't used it myself, unfortunately).
