Reusing case of HP Pavilion P6774y

Solution
The first one you posted is better, the boards are about the same the quality and they seem to work or they don't and you RMA. This isn't a bad deal for $159

UATX is the same as MicroATX so just about any Case within the last 15 years will work, here is a few I have built around as I try to find cases under $50.

Yes but those cases don't have great airflow and will not accept larger GPU'S unless your willing to do a little chopping. I would suggest replacing the Front case fan to something with more CFM as well. I reused a p6777c which is pretty much the same thing but all black for my sons Mincraft PC.

I completely agree. The inside of the case is very cramped. Could barely fit my HIS Radeon 6670. I also upgraded the PSU to a Dynex 300 watt. Came across this combo after doing some browsing on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/GAMING-COMBO-AMD-FX-4130-AM3-CPU-8GB-DDR3-RAM-GIGABYTE-GA-78LMT-USB3-Motherboard-/121400366739?pt=US_Motherboard_CPU_Combos&hash=item1c44069693

Which one is better for lite gaming and heavy downloading?

Could you also recommend a good Micro ATX/Mid ATX tower with good airflow?
