Im building a very upgradable gaming PC and i would like a good quality, low cost, PC case. It doesnt have to be flashy or anything.

Any of these will do:

I usually go with fractal cases on my budget builds.

Just so you know, your mobo and cpu may have problems.

Why not? But the 500W PSU of the same series are cheaper right now... I would go for that one..

I don't like the CX series, it's really hit or miss because it's the budget series. They have potential for whining problems from the coils aswell. I also have had bad experiences with them so I'm a bit biased

Either way, I'd still get a different brand and lately the EVGA have been getting good reviews.

Also, a case is more a personal touch, so just take whichever one fits your needs.

Thank you! And also, whats the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 USB cases? Sorry im new to building !

jaraldo · May 25, 2014

Usb 3.0 is much faster. You need a 3.0 cable with a 3.0 port to be fully "3.0". If you have a 2.0 of either of those it will be 2.0 speeds.

If you wanted one or two 3.0 front ports, it would probably be $20 dollars more for a case. (when I was looking)
The other option is to use that $20-30 dollars for a nicer board which would usually have 3.0usb ports in the back.

Edit: This board is really nice. It has 8+2 (10) Phase count which is much better than the 3+1(4) of your last board. Think of that like having 6 more line to distribute heat away.
It has two 3.0 Usb ports and eight 2.0 usb ports. It give the potential to add a 2nd GPU later as well as overclock slightly. Just be take it easy at first and test the capacities if you do so. $25 more than the board you had.
