Hi, would I be better off with a Source 210/Source 210 Elite or a Corsair 200R? The Source 210 is about 15 bucks cheaper right now. My build includes:

You want the 200R because your motherboard has a USB 3.0 header for the USB 3.0 ports on front of the case.

The Source doesn't have 3.0 front ports

True, but the 210 Elite does, and it's only $5 more than the 210.

Then get the Elite if you like the look , but Corsair cases are real solid.
