Hi Guys! I am planning to build a PC with a 40k pesos or 800 USD budget but can't seem to choose which case I'm going to buy because I want to maximize every bit of my money. The Phanteks being an ITX case is not an issue though because I am not going to upgrade my PC very soon. Thank you and maybe you guys can also comment on my build and recommend me a good budget case (white).

My List of Components:
Intel Core i5 7600k
Gigabyte H110 Itx Motherboard
8Gb DDR4 Ram
Galax GTX 1060 3GB
240Gb SSD
Seasonic S12II 520 80+ Bronze

I didn't listed what brand and model I am going to get for my SSD and Ram because I am planning to buy whichever is available in the store I'm going to buy all the parts. My Ram is one stick of 8Gb because I'm going to upgrade it to 2 sticks of 8Gb in the near future.

What's your budget? Here is a very inexpensive one: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/tRfp99/deepcool-case-tesseractwh
Here is a mid-range one: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Vpdqqs/nzxt-case-cas340ww1
And here is a list of white cases: http://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/#sort=a8&c=82
I would not go with a ITX case as many motherboards will not fit in a ITX case, so if you ever decided to upgrade you would be stuck with limited options.
For best combo of features/price I would go with an atx mid-tower, choose one you like and that has good cable management if your psu isn't modular.

Hi wertciu! Thank you for your reply and I agree with the cons of having an ITX build although I want my PC to be compact but still powerful.

Ok, MicroATX will still offer you more motherboard choices than ITX because ITX is meant largely for use in HTPC's. But if the mobo you want is ITX then theoretically an ITX case would be perfect, but if you ever wanted to reuse the case in the future you would be limited to ITX.
Another thing, 7000-series intel cpus only work in 200-series motherboards, so your i5 7600k won't work in a H110 mobo unless you have a last-generation cpu on hand to do a bios update with.

What are you planning to do with this pc?

There are these two cases:

But ITX and MicroATX cases are very small (especially ITX) so you will have very little room for upgrades or cable management.
