Hey guys,
I've just upgraded my rig with new parts, but the old the tower I've been using (Apevia X-CRUISER Mid-Tower) is going bad (front ports dont work).

I need to know if my parts will fit into a Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-ALPHA Mid tower? Or is there a better suggestion?

Parts:
Gigabyte H170 Gaming 3 ATX MB
Core i5 6600 w/stock fan
Asus GTX 750TI 2GB OC Edition
Corsair CX600 PSU

PS. If this is a stupid question, forgive my ignorance. I'm still new to this whole PC building world. Thanks!

Old case is standard ATX mid tower, new case is standard atx mid tower case.
Everything from old one will fit into new one just fine.

Only thing that could cause problems are extra long graphics cards.
New case supports cards up to 380mm, your gtx750ti is only 218mm long.
So - there is no problem fitting it either.

Thanks for your input! OK that's good to know. So in general I'll have to look for GPU space. Also I noticed it does not have optical drive bays.

I know These kinds of things are preference based usually, but do you have any suggestions for mid-cases under like $80?

Well nobody really uses optical drives anymore, so new cases may be without that option.

Personally for me, when I look for PC case, important things are:
1. dust filters;
2. large, quiet front fan;
2. Being able to load drives from side;
3. PSU located on bottom of the case is also a bonus (it helps with heat management).

Corsair Carbide Spec-Alpha satisfies all that. I would have liked capability to put 200mm fan instead of 2x120mm in front fan area. That would be a bit quieter operation. But other than that, it's still a solid case.

Personally I'm using Cooler Master HAF series case (HAF stands for High Air-Flow).
