I have pretty much decided on all of the components to my pc, but I cannot find a definitive answer on how much I should spend on a case and which case would be best. I would like to spend around $50-60 on it, but if spending more is worth it for my build, then I will. For my price range, I think I've narrowed it down to the rosewill challenger-u3, the corsair 200r, the NZXT source 210 elite, and the cooler master haf 912. Which one of these would be best for me? Any other case suggestions are welcome, and for reference here's my planned build:
