Need help with deciding on a new case

[Paint_Ninja]

My case is getting a bit worn now, with parts of the dust filters missing from where I've needed the additional PCIe slots and a DVD and idiotically lost the filters, now no longer needing the additional PCIe slots and DVD drive leaving some gaps on the back and front of the case. It was fairly cheap and on offer at the time and did the job, not anything special and a bit noisy (it's around 50-60dB on load). I'm definitely going to put a bit more care into the next case I get.

 

There's a few things I want to upgrade in my PC gradually overtime and the case is one of them. I don't have lots of money to splash out on a case but I'm willing to save up for a while if it means I'll get much better value for money. Any suggestions and stuff I should consider when deciding on a new case?

 

The case must

- Have good airflow and be reasonably quiet, but doesn't have to be dead silent

- Be big enough to fit all the components I currently have and a future water cooler (such as a Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 or Corsair Hydro Series H90)

 

Although not a must, it would be nice if the case

- Is in white

- Has a USB 3.0/3.1/Type C port on the front

I'd suggest the H440. But you need a DVD drive or don't?
The Define R5 and Enthoo Pro are good too.

Sorry about that...

Motherboard size: ATX 12 inch x 9.6 inch ( 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm )

The motherboard is an Asus M5A97 EVO 2.0

Number of SSD/HDDs being used: 3 (one 120GB SSD, one 2TB hyrbid drive, one 500GB backup drive)

Current CPU cooler I think is a Coolermaster 212 EVO. If it's not that exact model I'll let you know.

Video card: Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X OC

 

It's likely that I'll upgrade to a water cooler like the ones mentioned in the O.P. as soon as possible after getting the new case.

I don't need a DVD drive anymore and I have removed it from my case already. I have no plans on adding a CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive in the future.

Thanks for your help, I've just bought an NZXT H440 after carefully comparing all of the four cases you lot recommended and double checking that everything does fit. I can't wait for it to arrive!
