What size?
How much money will you spend?
Color preferences?
Using any parts from another PC (such as a power supply, motherboard, or cooler)?

All that being said, unless you plan on totally ditching this build later on, choosing the cheapest case possible really isn't a good idea, here's why:
Future expandability. When I built my fist PC, I chose a cheap case that was also on sale, the Deepcool Tesseract SW (not a terrible choice, unless you ant to water cool you PC in the future). Now, if i were to water cool a shiny new CPU, id need a new case to do it. The case is also a little weak on passive cooling, only one front fan.
Lets be honest, anesthetics. My case (because it's a good example) isn't ugly, but it only has a dash of color (unless you get one without a window [which is advised]). Also, because it has two fan mounts on the side panel window, it looks really weird, because there's a windows you can no longer see though.
So in order to recommend a case, tell us if you plan on having it for a while, because getting a nice case now could mean opening up some budget on a future build.
