I am looking for a case right now i am looking at the Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case I love it but i am trying to save money on this build. I want the case to have good room behind the mother board for cable management. be a medium size case good airflow  with some fans with it similar io to the carbide. it should fit an asus saber tooth z87 an  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO a windforce gtx 770 and an  Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M, 80 PLUS BRONZE, 620 Watt Modular Power Supply. 

 

Also a durable as I will have to move it around a few times until i get out of college

I personally hate the Air 540 as there is no rad space where there should be, where the power supplies are located.

in the meanwhile, I think a arc midi R2/fractal define R4 are pretty good cases that are durable and light because they are largely plastic, I'd also look at corsair's low end as there is more plastic there so you can move your case around with out breaking your back like me with the 800D

Most decent cases will fit your criteria. 

So just pick a few you like the look of.

pure metal? go look at the outside, there's a reason why that case is light, it's faux brushed aluminum. I have a fucking full metal case, and it's the heaviest shit on the market

the inside it metal but it's still extremely light
