So I'm looking for a case...

[xAbyss]

Hello guys!

 

I am looking for a relatively cheap case that would provide good cooling and a good size to fit all necessary components, such as a standard graphics card size:
for example.

I made a previous post about my graphics card issues and thought the best idea would be to completely upgrade my system. I'm looking to have a:

 

- Cooler master hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler

- Deciding to keep my intel i7-3770 but move it to another motherboard (or even keep my existing Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. H61M-DS2 DVI (Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz)) <- Let me know if this is okay (Tryna save some money)

- Keeping my 500/550W PSU (forgot which watt it is, it's one of them )

 

etc etc.

 

If there are any cases that will fit these components and would have good airflow for under £100 I'd appreciate the help!

I use the fractal design R4, got it for $80 on newegg.com.. My favorite case in this price range.

Okay, I've just been watching a jayztwocents video on this case, and I have a few questions, will it hold my existing motherboard and what temps do you get with your personal build, say 1080p gaming on ultra, is the case going to handle well with cooling + of course with the help of the gpu fan/cpu cooler? 

and by the looks of it, you can change the existing fans in that case to other ones if you prefer, correct? 
I'm not very tech savvy so sorry for my stupidity

I am pretty sure it fits most form factors of motherboards, really depends on what you have. I don't have exact temps right now cause I'm at work, but I run a single fan evga 1060 6gb and a i5 6600 with a cooler master hyper 212 evo on tri monitor gaming(usually on max settings) 1080p, never had any heat issues. It is a quiet case with loads of room and good cable management. You can see pics of it in the build log thats in my Sig.

You should also look into the NZXT S340

Well that's awesome then, thank you for responding, I guess I'll be getting a Fractal Design R4 then  unless I can find something slightly cheaper on amazon cause it's a bit much, do you have any other recommendations if I'm unable to get the F4?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-S340-White-Tower-Case/dp/B00NGMIBXC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1478529712&sr=1-1&keywords=NZXT+S340 this is the one I found on amazon and it's a lot cheaper than the Fractal F4, again same question. Would it hold a gtx 1080 and the 212 cooler?

The only other low price/good quality case I've had experience with is the Phanteks PH-ES215P_SRD($60), but that limits you to only m-itx motherboards which you likely don't have. Most any of the cases I've built in around that price range were low quality with poor air circulation.

Yeah, again I'm not tech savvy and I don't want to get things wrong  so I need to be 100% sure before wasting money on the wrong thing.

Thank you again guys!
