Just trying to find a good case that won't cause me hassle and has good airflow. Prefer too have a non-flashy case and no window if possible.

I'm not sure if the PSU should be Semi-Modular or not modular, but I'd prefer not to have to buy extra cables or anything. So, if the case can fit it, a non-modular is good.

Thanks for any feedback!
