Hi there, I need suggestions to choose a case for a new rig, i have a black and red scheme in mind and i would like it to allow me a clean cable managing. My budget is 70 to 75$.

I know it isn't a suggestion, but make sure whatever you pick has adequate clearance for the Hyper 212 Evo since it's a pretty tall cooler. 

 

If you end up going with a shorter cooler, then I'd suggest the NZXT S340. 

 

EDIT: Hyper 212 should fit. Barely, but it should fit.

I'm a fanboy of the Phanteks range. I own the P400S which is $60USD. They have RGB lighting so you can get a black case with red LED

i already bought the Hyper...so maybe shouldn't get that NZXT s340 for the clearance or not?

From what i've read the hyper 212 is 159 mm, the case gives 161 mm of clearance. It's tight but many people have done it.

I'd get the Phanteks P400 as well, it's a better S340

Just get a P400 (the grey or black ones should do your build very well. Also has some 12 different colors for LEDs.

i like both the s340 and the P400 which looks customizable, but which of them suits better tighter with the Hyper...

Both S340 and P400 can hold a 212 EVO just fine.

 

The other case I recommend that fits your requirements is the Enermax ECA3280

It's timeless and clean too, but i prefer the P400 this time...
