if your budget is 150 try to go with s340 elite ,the side panel is beautifuk tempered glass,and the psu filter is improved.

you cant go wrong with an nzxt s340

As you can see everyone tends to recommend those cases as well as what myself and my wife are running. The Phanteks P400S and P400 tempered glass. All of these cases are good quality with nice features. As well as good customer service. 

 

Here are pics of mine and my wife's P400 cases.

If you can't find it on partpicker try amazon or newegg. They both carry it.

or this : https://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-Define-MicroATX-FD-CA-DEF-C-BK-W/dp/B01MTOLDRF/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1489007688&sr=8-2&keywords=Fractal+Design+Define+C+Black .

p.s. while you're at it might wanna change the motherboard to a Z270 chipset if you want that over clocking potential.

Hope this helped,see ya around.

Not looking to overclock anything, I just want it to stay cool.

I am currently having in my main PC a AMD FX-8320 and R9 290X, I hope you understand why I want everything cool.

I am totally done with loud and hot components. I keep my gpu fan at 70% constantly just to keep it at 50C in idle...

The Define C will be the quietest of the ones listed here, though the side panel isnt tempered glass so it doesnt look as nice.
