Hello
I am making my first gaming computer and I am having a hard time choosing the case. I have heard that the Corsair Spec Series Cases (01, 02, and 03) are pretty good. Do you guys have any suggestions for mid-tower cases that have good airflow, looks, and space for graphic card upgrades in the future? The most I can pay is $60.

Here is my build so you know what parts are going in:

I want to point out that $239 is not a good price for a 280x

$239 could get you a R9 290

Thank you so much! You have helped me many times before and you are by far one of the best and most helpful people on these forums. My friend has the Antec 302 and i checked it out. It looks pretty good but do you have any thoughts on it? I will definitely check the ones you have suggested out. Thanks again!

EDIT:
After checking the other 280x and the 290, I have decided to stay with the Sapphire 280x because it has better reviews than the two XFX cards. They supposedly run really hot and loud and I don't want to deal with the mail-in rebates that will never arrive. Thanks anyway.
