So i am re-building my PC. But not really. Keeping the same components except for the PSU and the Case.

I need recommendations on the case. I am currently looking at the NZXT H440 case (Silent)
Reasons for choosing this case so far? Well it's advertised as silent, it looks awesome, i like the features, it has good reviews, and i know nzxt.

1) First tell me BEST budget cases
2) Second tell me BEST overall cases
3) Tell me what you have

Best Regards

p.s - I am buying the EVGA Supernova 850 B2. Give me your thoughts on that. I considered the EVGA Nova 850 G2 but it's sort of expensive, and i'd like to save some money.

I can tell ya that the Corsair 400R is good. modular for the most part. Decent Size Mid ATX Tower. Great if you can pay less than 100, w S/H.
The side panel has fan mounts. no cover. looks dumb imo.
But is costs more at the moment. so a 330R oe 200R is basically the same thing but more plastic.

Well... i am 17 and have no where to put my money so with a little motivation i could just save and get whatever the hell i want. But i am impatient and am only willing to use one of my paychecks on this. So i am thinking no more than $225 for a PSU and Case. Looking for the best of the best in that price range.

CPU : AMD 4100-FX Turbo clock
Ram: 16GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2
Samsung 850 EVO

Some really bad 850W PSU i purchased off amazon that doesn't even have a bronze efficiency/ECO rating. So i was told by someone here to purchase ASAP. With that said i want to get new slick shiny case ;P

EDIT: Current case is IBUYPOWERS custom NZXT Source210 (it has little screen to see in)

I don't like my current case because it doesn't really look any good other than the custom lights i installed and it doesn't really have a good layout nor good wire management. Plus there are no SSD bays so i taped my SSD to my HDD bracket XD

No need for a 850w. You can get a decent 650w and have plenty. Like this one is higher quality than the one you listed:

It really is personal preference on what case you pick as long as it is ATX Mid or Full tower you will be fine. Just go with the one that looks best to you. Also that CPU is pretty bad I would upgrade it next to a decent i5. You will see a double or triple increase in performance. In the mean time you may want to OC your current CPU because it is going to hurt your gaming FPS.

I've been overclocking it. 4.4GHZ

As for the PSU -> I want at least a 750W, any recommendations for that? I want room for my PC to grow. Not just go for what works for my current build and then purchase more once i get a new GPU.

Last question i think i'll have for you. Do you know of a motherboard that works with my RAM but supports a good (but not too expensive) intel processor.
