I'm looking for a case that looks nice as that is my biggest concern with a case. I have no budget however anything over $100 (unless really nice) is impractical. I'm going for looks here but good functionality and cable management is also nice. My Build is pretty simple, I have a small 750ti card however a 1060 will be added soon so it needs to be able to fit that card. All I have is an SSD and a HDD along with a micro-atx motherboard and stock cooler so not much clearance needed. I'll take any form factor case (ATX or Micro-ATX) but considering my motherboard is Micro-ATX I want the case to not make the board appear tiny. I have little knowledge over cases but my current case doesn't even have a proper place to mount a SSD (and is pretty ugly) so I want an upgrade.

You can't go wrong with the Phanteks cases. Here is my p400 with a micro atx board inside with an xfx rx 480 graphics card.  The next is the p400 tempered glass version which is my wifes. Both versions can be had for less than 100 USD. 

 

But I can easily recommend this brand as the quality is very good as is customer service.

I can second that idea of the Phanteks cases. I own the p400s and I could not be happier with how easy it is to cable manage with the space you get. Here is a tip for any case, get some reusable velcro straps. Make sure to get the ones that come in a big roll and are about 0.5 cm across and 0.1 cm thick. They are amazing to help cable manage and go great in any black case.

A smile goes much farther than the person it's meant for.

First impressions are important, it sets the stage for respect.
