I was wondering if the case affects any kind of performance of the PC? Im deciding between the $50 NZXT Source 210 or the $13 Dazumba DE130. Ik the quality of the NZXT is pretty good, but idk about the Dazumba tho. So i was wondering, will a cheaper case make my PC overheat or break or smth? Or is it all the same?
 
Solution
Cheaper cases have poor cable routing and poor cooling. It absolutely can cause performance issues if your system is not getting or exhausting enough air that it needs.

As long as there is adequate space in the cabinet to Install all your hardware and a good way to route the PSU cables so they do not come in the way of airflow. And atleast two-three Fan mounts, two for intake, one for exhast. Then it will be good. Also it should be sturdy enough.
