I am currently building a gaming rig for under 800 dollars ALL IN (Including Monitor and keyboard ect.) and having a little bit of trouble, obviously, with it since this is my first time getting a desktop and building it myself seems the route I would like to go. The most trouble I am having right now is with the case. I am looking for something sort of flashy, with a side panel and maybe a cool grill or something like the corsair SPEC-3. Problem is with this case it cannot fit a Water CPU cooler that I think I will be going for to quiet down the whole rig and to cool off the processor. Any suggestions for a Computer Case that would fit aftermarket LED fans and a Window in the side with enough space for a water CPU cooler would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks in advance! I will message back whoever does want to help me.

P.S. I know the graphics card is not a great one but I will be upgrading later on, I just want a Solid build for now and then i can upgrade that, the monitor maybe, the storage for more since I have a lot of pics and videos.

Here's my build so far:

The nzxt source 220 case is a great case for less than 70$ (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146083) about 50$ You may need to mount the radiator internally but the fans externally

Thank you. I seen this one before, and I do like the USB 3.0 and the 2.0 on the front and the look seems pretty decent, but I'd really like to have a side panel to see the inside also. This will be a good contender though if I do not get a side panel. You don't think it will fit the radiator and the fans inside at the same time? I would like everything to stay internally.

This is my first desktop. Also my first build. I am moving on from laptops into a desktop since I would like to do gaming with higher graphics so I have no idea what brand or anything I have just done some mild research on other components like CPU and GPUs but not cases. This case is a really badass one. Do you have excess room in yours for maybe a water cooler for a processor?

This will work just fine. I researched a tiny bit and i can put a H80i in this case if i get rid of one fan on the top. Sounds good to me! Thank you!
