Really hope you guys can help. This is my first gaming PC build, an upgrade of bits from a HP Pavilion p6-2371ea i fixed up and used as a desktop for general use and wish to transfer into a gaming rig.
Current parts: i5 3470, 430W Corsair PSU, AMD R9 285 GPU, 8gb RAM, 128gb SSD & a 1TB WD Blue
Although the new R9 GPU and new WD 1TB HDD don't fit in the current case, and the current cable management is poor (something I always struggle with!) I'd like to keep the current Motherboard (Joshua-H61-uATX), CPU, PSU, RAM, SSD and move them over to the new case if possible.
I'd like a nice case which looks good (perhaps with a window) but is futureproof, not too expensive and fits my current parts as well as the new ones well, with good and easy cable management, hope you can help, any advice/ multiple case recommendations much appreciated :) P.s would be great if sold by Amazon UK :)

Thanks, So am I right in thinking that I could not connect the 2.0 header on my motherboard to a 3.0 header on the case?

Also what is your opinion of the NZXT CA-S340W or the Thermaltake Urban S31?

Look at the future and buy a case with usb 3.0 even if it doesn't fit your current motherboard pins. Eventually you will upgrade the motherboard/cpu in few years, why change the pc case again?
Imo just take an inexpensive usb 3 pci /pci-e card with internal pins and plug the usb 3 front panel of your new pc case there , if something like that exists
