Ok, I decided to upgrade my case, but the case market is so diverse I need your advice, here are the features I need:

 

-under 100 dollars/euro

-must have full-size atx support

-for now, must support a 120mm aio (wherever back, front etc.)

-for later, must support a 240 rad

-must have 2.5 ssd mounting

-i dont care that much about rgb/tempered glass, plexiglass sidepanels are fine too.

 

Thanks too anyone that replies, I will revisit the thread in 30 minutes when the options come in, so if i might not respond immedeatly.

I m assuming you're moving the build in your signature to the new case?

 

Since your hottest component of the build is an 8600K, I fell comfortable recommending the NZXT S340 and Phanteks P400 series. These cases dont have the best airflow, but for what you have they should be sufficient. 

 

I would highly recommend the Define C series from Fractal, with solid panel, acrylic, Tempered glass and mesh front panel versions.

Thanks, do you think it will fit a 240 in the top? How about custom water cooling?

I have not seen anyone successfully place a radiator at the top of this case.
