Recommended cases in the $130 range

[Ikarmue]

I have a few cases in mind that I was considering for my build recently. However, I wanted to know if anyone had other cases to recommend within this price point that I have not considered.

 

The list of cases I was thinking about:

 

NZXT Phantom 530

Corsair Air 540

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Advanced

Corsair 500R

 

My build specs are as followed:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97M-DS3H Micro ATX Motherboard

GPU: GTX 750 Ti EVGA Superclocked

PSU: Thermaltake 750W 80+ Gold Semi-Modular Power Supply

 

P.S.: In case if anyone's wondering why I have a GTX 750 Ti for this build, that's because I am upgrading the CPU from a Pentium G3258 that I may use in another build somewhere down the road.

@Ikarmue

I don't have experience with these cases, but I considered the Define R5, NZXT H440 and the Corsair 750D (bit over $130) when starting my build.

[Spirit_Hunter]

Corsair spec 01 is a really nice case imo

[burningfyra]

would not recomend the storm 2 imo.

I would go with Corsair Air 540, Phanteks Enthoo Pro or the Corsair 500R

[TechStyle]

Enthoo Pro, Define R5, H440.

Just saying, but your build is slightly unbalanced... well, depending on what you use it for

I am leaning towards the H440, but there is one thing I have heard about the H440 that made me hesitant to put it in the list I made in the OP: ventilation. I know that the panels have a sound dampener, but I heard that cooling is not as good as, say, the Air 540 or the Enthoo Pro. Is this true?

 

Btw, I have no plans on performing any water cooling.
