Midtower recommendation

Ryujin2003

I'm building a birthday present for my soon to be 8 year old son. I'm using my older parts since I just upgraded to Ryzen. I'm looking for a nice mid towers case, and am currently looking at Corsair Carbide 100R, but didn't know if anyone might have better suggestions. I'm not going with RGB and LEDs, so clear side panel isn't required. Something sturdy and wide enough to fit an MSI R9 380 GAMING.

 

He's 8, and the only games he plays are Rocket League, Need for Speed, Mech Warrior, Star Wars Battlefront Front. So I do not plan on upgrading him for a while. He will also be using it for educational things for his math and science programs.

 

Specs:

MB: MSI990FX

CPU: FX 6350 OR FX 8350 (Depending on good deal for coller better than stock and Hyper D92)

GPU: MSI R9 380 4GB Gaming X

PSU: OCZ 700 watt

 

Any other nice mid towers would be nice to look at. The only color option I will not take is White. They always get dirty, the color fades from sunlight. Not going to deal with it.

Any phanteks case, particularly P300 for a smaller budget or P400 if you have more $$

I would suggest the Meshify C case by Fractal Design.

The Corsair Spec-01 is a pretty good mid-tower case, especially if you're on a budget

That's the main reason I was looking at it. I've never worked in a client's Corsair case that want good build quality.

Yeah, forgot that. Budget is 50 USD, since I'm doing other things as well.

I'll look at the Phanteks and fractal cases. Thanks.

The fractal and Phantkes cases will be over budget. 

 

There are really good budget cases on the market though!
