Hello. Im updating my AMD FX-6300 and Im buying a cooler called Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, but I need a case for that. Since my PC isnt very good, I dont want to spent more than 60, 70 dollars for that. Lot of people suggested me the CORSAIR SPEC-02/03 cases, but the problem is that doing research on Google, people say you cant put CM EVO in that case, but this link https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/?compatible_with=cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2 and this video 

shows diffrently. 

 

SO MY QUESTIONS FOR TODAY IS:

1. Can I put HYPER EVO 212 in Corsair Spec-01/02 cases or

no?

2. What is actually the best case

up to 60, 65$ to put this Cooler and for abilities/design?

I don't know about the Corsair cases, but the NZXT S340 does fit it and is $5 over your budget.

1. Yes, but the ends of the heatpipes might touch your side panel(which I wouldn't recommend)

2. s340 is beautiful you can get it new for $69.99 or a refurb from NZXT's website for $59.99

It should fit but it would be very close.

For a $70 budget, i too would recommend the s340, i would also tell you too look at the NZXT h320DefineS, Shinobi, Shadow or Ronin.

 

The ultimate thing to do would be to save enough for a mid/full tower for $80-$100 and you will be sure to get a really nice case that will fit the 212evo.

And what would you recommend in 80-100 budget if I may ask?
