Im thinking about swapping my hp pavilion p6 desktop case into another case. This pc is used for gamming. I put a 600Watt power supply in. A GTX 660 Non Ti And I Put A new Processor in it (A8-3870k) Im getting a new motherboard this weekend and its going to be Am3+ So im going to get the AMD Fx 8350 4.0Ghz. So i figured snice im switching motherboards might as well switch cases snice this one is so small and crapped. Can someone link me a good case for around 30-50$. The PC i have now -ttp://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PUBLIC_SP4TS_REDIRECTOR/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?prodSeriesId=5187028&objectID=c03349236)

it's pretty subjective but since you are gaming, you'll probably want good airflow... also we don't know what form factor motherboard you're buying.

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

Tom's uses this case in a lot of it's budget gaming builds... HUGE number of reviews too.

Just be aware that if you switch mobo's & the hard drive your using is the original from HP w/ the original OS, you'll need to buy a new operating system(Windows), OEM OS's are tied to the MOBO's.
