So I made a post a few days ago , I was asking for advice so I took most of them but I can't decide what case to get . So this is the build :http://www.mediadot.ro/wishlist/32940/. Now I need help deciding on what case to get for max 250$ . I want a gaming case (I was thinking of a HAF X or a CM Storm Stryker , but the watercooler doesn't fit into the stryker *sob*) so please leave some gaming case names , hopefully with fans included , if it's without fans make sure it's 200$ max . 

Thank you in advance :) .

If you had a rad then fan on the top farthest back it would fit. If you can fit a 240mm in the top with 2 fans you would be fine.

I have one more question : Is there a big difference between 80 plus bronze and gold ?

Well I've seen a video on youtube in which the owner of a Stryker modified the top to fit in a 27mm rad but I don't want to mess around with my case :/.

Not much. It's just a percentage in efficiency and for marketing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus

What I do is just make sure it's 80 plus or 80 plus bronze and you're solid because psus without an 80 plus or rating could end up only outputting a small unmarked percentage of the labeled wattage and not have enough power.

Fractal R4, recently got mine and it is amazing. Completely silent, good cable management options, has an integrated fan controller and plenty of 3.0 usb ports. Only 119 dollars

So assuming I manage to swap the rear fan and the top one with the watercooler I picked , won't it mess up the case's airflow?
