Seriously all i want is a case!

Uh, i have been looking for quite a while now and i would really appreciate some pointers. What i need is a case to fit a 312mm graphics card, fit a black colour scheme with a possibility of red highlights, good cable management, atx form, also space enough for a 240mm radiator which i might install later. All of that for preferably less then £50 but if something perfect is discovered £60. Thanks for any replies

NZXT Fan right here.  The S340 is going to be about right for your budget.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

The S340 is the god of reasonably-priced cases. Buy it, love it, then recommend it to everyone.

Eh? It sits there and blocks dust, doesn't really need to be anything special. I see it maybe once every few months, and if that's the only problem with the case it's probably a pretty damn good case :P

Why not? They may be £30 over budget second hand, but definitely worth it.

£30 over budget, which is 50% again, for a second hand case that will likely have scratches, accessories missing, etc. The 750D is larger than necessary for ATX, and has an outdated bunch of features. The s340 is the BEST option at this price pointl

I'm by no means an authority, but as someone who is also searching for an ATX case right now, here are some widely accepted good ones in your price range:

 

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (the "Pro" - as opposed to the "Pro M" is a better deal but is bigger and might exceed your price range)

Fractal Design S

Fractal Design R4 or R5 (might be able to get the latter on sale in your price range)

NZXT S340

 

A step down from these cases would be the Corsair 200R, which is an excellent value for what it provides.  Corsair's Obsidian 350D and 450D are nice cases too, but IMO are overpriced.
