So for my PC I just built 2 weeks ago, I used some random OK-ish PC case. It has zero cable manage ment, and it's pretty crammed with stuff:

I need a mid tower or another micro ATX case, for around $50. Preferably it has USB 3 on the front, but not Nessacary, and I would rather have a mid size tower because the more expansion slots would be nice.

Also as a side note, how big of a ssd would I need for my OS, and like 10 programs that are about a max of 5-10 gbs total? 32gb enough?

Core 1000 for a case. Also I'd say get at least 64+ GB, get 120GB+ though, and 1TB of HDD.

Don't bother with 32gb... if anything, they'll be more expensive than 64gb. Grab a 120gb min. You'll only pay a little more and you'll be kicking yourself when you run outta room.

350D (don't know price) / 120 GB, you'll fill up 64/32 GB fast, trust me.

I'm on a very tight budget here, and I have the 1tb drive to storage, it would literally just be the OS and a few major programs, I'll probably go with a 64 bg,unless I see a 120 on sale

What's your budget? Try and grab a core 1000 and a kingston v300 maybe?

The Cooler Master N200 is the best case for your price range. Try to look for Kingston V300s on sale.
