Alright, so i planned everything for my build except the case, my budget is under $100 AUD, i'd like a glass tempered case that looks good and with good airflow, as well as good cable management if that's possible what do you guys recommend? 

 

Thanks!

The Phanteks P350X is $99 AUD, it's a great case with everything you asked for apart from the fact that it only comes with one intake fan which severely impacts temperatures so you'd need to by at least one fan and put it as an exhaust. Unfortunately, it is out of stock everywhere in Australia unless you want to pay shipping. It also comes with an RGB strip and RGB integration on the front panel and the front panel is very airflow friendly. 

 

Another great option is the Phanteks P300. In my opinion it's good looking like the the P350X, however the front panel looks more restricted but according to Optimum Tech's review on the P350X, when the fan configuration is matched on both cases (one front intake fan and one exhaust fan) the P300 actually has 2.6 degrees C better GPU temperatures than the P350X and the CPU is only 0.4 degrees C warmer than the P350X. The case is only $79 AUD which leaves room for you to buy an intake fan as it only comes with one exhaust. Keep in mind that the P300 is shorter than the P350X but the same height. The max power supply length it can fit with room for cables is 160mm and it is not very radiator friendly.

 

Both of these cases have top dust filters, front intake dust filters and cable management options. You can't go wrong with either of these cases and I just did most of the research for you.

Stand out cases:

Cougar MX330 (very very cheap, but it's functional)

Thermaltake Core G21 (less cheap, just as functional)

In win 303 (Airflow is decent if you fill up the fan slots, but doesnt come with any. Expensive compared to the others)

Coolermaster MB500 (3 RGB fans and tempered glass, a pretty good value actually)
