I am looking to get a new case for a computer I recently bought. It was a great deal on a refurbished computer for $450. Here's a link to the computer.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

This current case has very poor ventilation and I plan on getting the hyper 212 evo CPU cooler for my fx 6350 at the same time as the new case. I am not sure on how to tell the size difference of cases. I just want to make sure all my components will fit in the new case.

I have 2 HDD's in the case, and will be getting a SSD in the near future...So I will need room for them. I would like 2 optical drives as well, but could do with only one. Also I might try and water cool my CPU in the future if I think it is worth it. So having that option would be a bonus, but not a must have.

My budget is around $50 or so and I also need to have 2 USB 3.0 on the front of the case, for my mobo supports USB 3.0, and I want to make sure to take advantage of it.

Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.

With a 50 dollar budget, 2 USB 3.0 in front is difficult to find.

NZXT Source 210 Elite*/220 is good option, but it has only 1 USB 3.0 in front.

*Source 210 Elite is an upgrade over Source 210 (no USB 3.0 port).
