[BUDGET] Case recommendations? GTX 960 2gb/i3-6100

[CrunchyShadow]

I am getting a gtx 960 2gb and a i3-6100 budget build. I managed to buy these parts on sale, spending about 350$ CAD on them new or barely out of the box.

 

So now onto the next step into building my FIRST PC WOOHOO. I'm looking for a mid tower but if there any cool mini cases that don't cost too much that would be nice.  

 

So anything under 60$ CAD would be cool, but I am willing to squeeze a 70, maybe 80$ case but that makes me cringe. 16 year old budget problems... 

 

Do you guys have any suggestions? Oh and a 500w power supply should do fine with the parts I have, right?

Thermaltake Core V1 and yes, you're fine with the PSU as long as it's a good brand.

To anyone looking for a budget case, I found probably the best quality case mid tower on my own. It's 50$ CAD atm so here it is.

This and the Corsair Carbide Series 88R MicroATX Mid Tower Case  ($54.99 @ DirectCanada)   is by far the best deal.

Why not the NZXT S210. It doesn't have any frill but will do the job just fine.

I have the N200, decent little case but the 88R does have a window.
