So based on this can you guys help me pick a case? I would like it to be from the $25-50 range. Also cases with or without a window and preferably a black case.

Thanks guys!

NZXT Tempest 210 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-catp21001 Solid case with neutral look. Modern features like usb3.0 internal, cable management, toolless with fans pre-installed, of course. Another candidate would be Antec GX700, with good cooling performance, but its appearance might not please anyone : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-case-gx700

And if you like a sidewindow : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/zalman-case-z11plus

Also, for the rest of your build, you can consider a HD7870 GHZ edition with significantly higher performance than a 660 for just 10$ more : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100354...

I just wanted a case suggestion! I appreciate the tip though. However, I'm more familiar with intel and would just rather an intel CPU. Is it going to hurt my performance pairing this cpu and gpu?

It won't hurt performance pairing an i5 with either a 7870ghz or a GTX660.
